John,

yes I did follow Roberts guidelines as 
per 
http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-InstallKernelandRootFileSystem
Screen still black and not detected ;(

DT is something really new to me, but I'm learning mostly at night while 
kids sleeping !

I'd really like to have the LCD back and running with kernel versions 
supporting SGX and this will happen ! Just a matter of time....

I found this, and might try 
it: http://www.thing-printer.com/converting-device-tree-overlays-kernel-3-12/ 
even if this looks like a step back.

Anyway back to compiling, testing and learning from my errors ! 

Cheers,

Cedric
