From: Nitin A Kamble <nitin.a.kamble at intel.com>

The systems provided by the Yocto Project Fish River Island 2 Giveaway
Program come with the Fast Boot EFI firmware. This firmware does not
provide legacy BIOS support. And because the 'vesafb' X driver depends
on this legacy BIOS support, it fails to work on these systems.

On these systems the 'fbdev' X driver is able to work, giving a
functional X graphical screen. Somehow the 'fbdev' X driver is finding
800x600 as the only available mode for display on these systems.

This 'fbdev' X driver should also work with the other FRI2 systems
which come with the Kontron supplied APTIO (AMI) BIOS.

This fixes bug:
[YOCTO #3846]
