HDMI output works but it seems to be in a fixed resolution (1400x600). The output should use the entire display, and be full screen.

The xorg.conf below needs to be used for HDMI output

# This overides the default output to /dev/fb0 which is the LCD
# framebuffer and redirects it to fb10 for HDMI output.

Section "Device"
          Identifier "FBDEV"
          Driver "fbdev"
          Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb10"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
          Identifier "HDMI Screen"
          Device "FBDEV"
          DefaultDepth 24
          SubSection "Display"
                  Virtual 1920 1080
          EndSubSection
EndSection

I'd prefer to see it working without any extra xorg config file, but this is a workaround. I added the config file as default with origen hwpack, and HDMI is now working fine at 1080p.

One thing I couldn't test is if this will interfere at the LCD, as mine is currently broken (real broken).
