The message Display startup timed out! usually indicates that either the OSVR server isn't running or that it hasn't received any movement reports from the HDK. After starting up the server, move the HDK around a bit and then try running vrcmd again and see if that helps any.

(I'll have to dig into the code on the OSVR-Core side to see why else the display configuration might not start up.)
