I would agree with Graeme - it's possible, but you'll have to build and install a whole load of level dependencies onto the toolchain before it'll work. It's easier to use OE which will sort this all out for you. Well, most of it - there are unfortunately still a few hoops to jump through to build things with the right combination of DRI, GLX and so on. I'm publishing all my efforts in this regard on my public Git server. I've done a few "nastinesses" in my OE tree (hard-coding paths on my filesystem) to just "get it working" for now. Feel free to poke around and cherry-pick the bits that are useful to you: http://git.bitwiz.org.uk/ A particularly notable nastiness was this horrible thing: http://tinyurl.com/dh4q35 ..which I'd be happy to hear suggestions to improve :) Graeme: you didn't come across this? I was finding some cross-compile host include badness when building Xorg drivers. It REALLY doesn't take much longer to compile with OE than with the toolchain The first time round, it has to go through a bootstrapping procedure of building the cross-compiler and so on. After that, when you tell it to build a package, it doesn't do much more than you would have done with the toolchain. Don't ask OE to build the whole image. Just tell it to 'bitbake xserver-xorg' and it should produce some .opk files for you to install on the phone to test. Then you can do "bitbake xf86-video-glamo" to build the Glamo driver, or xf86-video-fbdev to get a simple fbdev driver to get things working initially. The learning curve for this stuff is insanely steep, so don't be shy about asking more questions! > Also Lars-Peter Clausen from OpenWrt(?) has some code with > acceleration, and requested the spec, that's great news.

A lot of the people interested in this hang around on IRC, so come along and say "hi". I'm "Weiss" and I hang around in #openmoko, #openmoko-cdevel etc. on Freenode.
