Have checked your u-boot variables to make sure they are something that is
correct for the monitor you are trying to view it on? Also just so you know
the plug only transmits a DVI signal even though its an HDMI plug.

The monitor plugged into the Summit works but it is just like running the
Summit+Overo through the console port.  Aren't the u-boot variables only
used for running in console mode?  I thought an entirely different
configuration is employed when running the Overo+Summit plugged into it's
own monitor.

You will only see a desktop version if your running the desktop version,
there is a console only version. When you turn it on hit enter and will take
you to the variables
printenv
setenv (put the environment variables you want here )
saveenv

I have set as DVI for the default display with the wanted resolution.

I have a overo fire and summit, also when it goes to the console have you
tried startx or X ? It could be just not loading the X server properly and
just going in as  console first, I have my system boot up this way as I do
not always want a desktop.

Hope this helps some.
