Using the following 3 files in xorg.conf.d/ should be all you need:

# 50-screen.conf
Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Default Screen"
   Device "Default Device"
   Monitor "Default Monitor"
EndSection

# 50-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
     Identifier	"Default Monitor"
#    Option	"PreferredMode"	"1600x900"
EndSection

# 50-device.conf
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Default Device"
   Driver "NameOfMyCustomCompiledPandaboardDriver"
EndSection

Optionally, combine the three files into one xorg.conf file instead.

Automagic should take care of everything else.
