Title:
  xorg doesn't try to autoload the omap xorg driver at omapdrm enabled
  devices

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There's currently the support for the xf86-video-omap driver, which
  enable additional features for omapdrm compatible devices, but it's
  not yet loaded automatically by the xserver.

  The main reason is that the omapdrm device is a real platform device,
  without any specific busID to be used by the server. As current Xorg
  either tries to identify by using a bus like PCI, or by investigating
  the driver's ID, there's no easy way to make it also load drivers for
  platform devices (the device id is specific to platforms).
