I used to do this with these lines in local.conf
   PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/egl ?= "vc-graphics-hardfp"
   PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles2 ?= "vc-graphics-hardfp"

However this now leads to a cascade of errors:
   ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'userland' (but 
/local/poky-cutting-edge/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad_1.8.3.bb DEPENDS on or otherwise 
requires it)
   ERROR: userland was skipped: PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libgles2 set to vc-graphics-hardfp, not userland
   NOTE: Runtime target 'gst-player-dev' is unbuildable, removing...

   Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['video-demo-image', 'gst-player-bin', 'gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad', 
'userland']

If I remove gst-player-* from my image, I can build using vc-graphics-hardfp
and X11 works again.
