Re: [meta-ti] core-image-sato scarthgap beaglebone x11 startup error

Unlike yocto-bsp, which uses vanilla mainline kernel with unaccelerated 
framebuffer, meta-ti by default enables accelerated graphics with out-of-tree 
drivers and user-space GLES libraries - SGX in case of Beaglebone and AM335x.

When meta-ti migrated from 6.1 kernel to 6.6, I believe X11 support was 
dropped. It should still be possible to fall back to unaccelerated framebuffer 
and get X11 working, but that's not something that is configured nor tested in 
meta-ti.
