I think he had the > armada driver working too. First of all, for fun and to educate myself ! Secondly, I found that xf86-video-armada was pretty complex. I wanted to do something simpler using existing higher level EXA API. Finally, when we started to work on that with Tomi two years ago, the armada driver looked unmaintained and I failed to get the DRI3/present part working. So it was actually easier to work together using a brand new driver since we share the same hardware (Beagleboard X15). Regards -- Julien Boulnois
