Btw xf86-video-omapfb does not support xserver-1.13 video API.

Someone needs to port
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-omap/commit/?id=0615ee8cd73068332879695cbdf662cf5b9b597c
to xf86-video-omapfb or merge missing functionality from omapfb to omap
driver.

I've similar patch to fix xf86-video-glamo in meta-oe, but cannot test
it in runtime until we fix SIGILL in systemd dbus on armv4t
