Well, not sure.
The OpenWRT project runs an X server on the n810.
It does so by using the X.org "omapfb" driver module, which
accesses the hardware through /dev/fb0.
http://git.pingu.fi/xf86-video-omapfb/
So we basically need that to work in one way or another.
Another thing that we require is turning off the display for
power saving reasons. We currently do this through
FBIOBLANK ioctl with parameters FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN/FB_BLANK_UNBLANK.
(The backlight is turned off by other means with the device asic)
