If you have compiled the software x11 engine in with
HAVE_EVAS_ENGINE_SOFTWARE_X11_H it will try to use that by default. If that
fails, and you have HAVE_EVAS_ENGINE_FB_H defined when you compile it will try
to use the framebuffer. If that fails...well your boned.
Your other option is to do something like:
ewl_test --ewl-fb
ewl_test --ewl-software-x11
to set the specific engine.
