Yes, some CID platform which is address data-center processor/chipset uses external PCIe VESA graphic card.

Actually my main concern here is why we need to boot up X11 MatchBox with multiple video’s module (intel, vesa & fbdev) while we can fix this to only load “intel” during the X startup ? I guess this looks more proper and clean way of using the pure “intel” driver right ? (please correct me if I’m wrong) ..

meta-intel doesn't set the X driver to be intel explicitly because there's no reason to.  The overhead of loading fbdev and modesettings is insignificant and not all machines supported by the meta-intel BSP use the intel driver, some actually need the modesettings driver.
