Yeah for most part I'm using X with HDMI, LCD works but there are six out of tree omapdrm patches that need more work similar to n950.

And PM needs more work. For reference, Sebastian Reichel has pretty good mainline driver status matrix for both n900 and droid 4 on his website. > Biggest problem I have now is poor quality of audio calls...
