[meta-freescale] i.MX6 mfw_isink is not working with X11 "Nitrogen"

[Tarek El-Sherbiny]

Hi Eric,

I think it's not the mfw_isink but X11 itself.

I have confirmed that by running the unit test:
/unit_tests/mxc_epdc_x11_fb_test.out
Error: unable to open X display

Do you get the same error with LTIB?

Thanks,
Tarek
