You're not going to like this suggestion. Far better option to get JavaFX and OpenJFX working and performing well is to run JavaFX programs on a Wandboard <http://www.wandboard.org/> (eg the Dual version) since all the Vivante GPUs are supported, even graphics acceleration via both GPUs. Sadly the GPU on the BBB will *NEVER *be fully supported as long as Imagitech <http://www.imagitech.co.uk/> refuse to completely release the specifications for all of its GPUs.
Plenty of people are in the same situation with trying to get the SGX GPU working on the BBB but to no avail. So much time spent trying to get the GPU supported. To make matters worse the Beaglebone Foundation's upcoming Beagleboard X15 <www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoard-X15> also contains a SGX GPU. Extremely FRUSTRATING! Much better off spending the money on a Wandboard to get JavaFX programs running easily. Ubuntu/Debian have a package containing the open source Vivante GPU driver which covers most of the Vivante GPUs (2D and 3D ones). Easy as pie to install the GPU driver via *apt-get* (single step). Wish it was the same with the BBB. Why does the Beaglebone Foundation always insist on using a SGX GPU in every board that gets released?
