No

The Omega does not have the hardware to drive a screen via VGA or HDMI.

@Lazar-Demin is there any plan to support HDMI output? I would pay for that, but not for the new Dash, because I want a (much) larger screen.

I think NO.

It needs GPU.

You can only make kernel objects (with DMA) to manual installation if anybody look for this.
You'd better make I2S Sound Card support. If you need GUI, then sound needs too.
