getty will only give you a console. If you want to get a console on HDMI, you
need CONFIG_VT and CONFIG_FB in the kernel, but I'm not sure if the latter is
even available for the Wandboard. If you have a framebuffer, you can start a
getty on tty1 instead of ttymxc0.
But if it is X that you want, you should start it. For testing, you can just
type X after logging in on the console.
I think we should start writing a FAQ on how to use X on buildroot...

Arnout
