Description
```
I have a BeagleBoard C4 and followed the build and setup instructions using the
manifest rowboat-eclair.xml. Everything compiled just fine, Graphics SGX SDK
installation went OK, sdcard with kernel and system image created successfully.
When starting from sdcard:
Kernel is up and running, Android boots up but I cannot get any DVI ouput. In
the kernel log I see this:
---------------------------------------------------------

I tried all the boot args below with no success.
---------------------------------------------------------
setenv bootargs 'mem=128M androidboot.console=ttyS2 console=tty0
console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw init=/init rootwait
omap-dss.def_disp=dvi omapfb.video_mode=720x480MR-16@60'
setenv bootargs 'mem=128M androidboot.console=ttyS2 console=tty0
console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw init=/init rootwait
omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768MR-24@60 omapfb.vram=0:2M,1:4M'
setenv bootargs 'mem=128M androidboot.console=ttyS2 console=tty0
console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw init=/init rootwait
omapdss.def_disp=dvi omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x1024MR-16@60 vram=12M
omapfb.vram=0:4M,1:4M,2:4M'
---------------------------------------------------------
The thing is that when in U-Boot mode, I can see the orange background (DVI)
and the color bars in S-Video output but as soon as the kernel starts the DVI
output goes black.
Have I missed anything? Is there any problem with the kernel or the DVI
drivers?

Research direction
Start with the supplied kernel log and the three U-Boot boot-argument examples; compare DVI behavior before and after the kernel starts. Trace the OMAP DSS/DVI and omap_vout initialization mentioned in the log, then reproduce the issue from the SD card. Done means identifying the relevant kernel, driver, or configuration cause and restoring DVI output.
