Mali GPU Support

[css459]

GPU acceleration currently does not work even with the proper midgard drivers installed. The GPU appears in lshw and its frequency can be changed successfully using the Gearbox application (verified via device files). However, glxinfo -B (via mesa-utils and mesa-demos) reports that the Device is llvmpipe and Accelerated: no

You don't use mesa?

Output of glxinfo -B:

Is this what you see when using a clean install of the root fs? If so, it could be that I configured something incorrectly on my personal install, prior to checking.

I don't think so, but can't remember correctly. I guess I just installed mesa before using any graphical apps.

It worked right away tho.

Alright thanks I’ll give it a try on a clean install. A06, right?
