Hi All,
I built Angstrom v2013.12 (the plain systemd console only image) from 
source recently and went to a lot of trouble to finally figure out how to 
flash it on the eMMC! Everything works great, except there is no console on 
my monitor attached via HDMI. My monitor detects that there is something 
plugged in at the other end, but receives no video signal.

My EDID looks like this (so it's obviously detecting the monitor at the 
other end)

Interestingly, the graphics device appears to be disabled

root@beaglebone:~# cat /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1/enabled 
disabled

And if i try and modprobe the omapfb driver,
root@beaglebone:~# modprobe omapfb
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'omapfb': No such device


And there's some interesting info in dmesg:

Any ideas on how to get the framebuffer console working? My end game is 
that I want to write some software which will render on the framebuffer, I 
figure being able to put a text console on there is probably a necessary 
condition.
Thanks for the help!
