branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
The compilation of the program weston-launcher is currently disabled, so
the only way to launch Weston (on framebuffer) is to execute (as root):
$ openvt -c 2 -s -- weston \
--backend=/usr/lib/weston/fbdev-backend.so \
--tty=2 \
--log=/tmp/weston.log
Unfortunately you will only end up with a black screen. The reason is
given in the log file:
/dev/tty2 is already in graphics mode, is another display server running?
Here is the fix from upcoming version 1.4.

+Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: open launcher only once
+
+We currently call launcher_connect() twice, which is redundant and
+amazingly works (ugh?). Fix this and connect only once to the launcher.
