Research direction

Start by tracing the omapfb and omaplfb framebuffer initialization reported in the boot log, and reproduce the failure on a BeagleBoard-xM with a 50Hz-only LCD or plasma display. Done means the display initializes successfully without the framebuffer allocation and probe errors shown in the report.
