Hi Shawn,
I've just put some more pieces into the kernel.

Can you give the current code a spin?
To get X.org/X11 working simply create a config file under
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d which contains the device section given
by "man xf86-video-scfb".
Open issues:
- Restoring the frame buffer does not always work. I looks like the
restored text console size is 1x1 afterwards. At least there is no
panic. And you can re-plug the UDL device again.
- You need to unplug the UDL device before rebooting.
- UDL device must be connected to a monitor before you plug it to USB,
or you can load/unload the driver to re-probe the video format.
