Hi Sage, 
Another question is: 
Is there any possibility that XBMC can work well on hardware without 3D 
acceleration?  
(for example, on hi3716m with 600MHz Cortex A9 and 2D acceleration. )

If so, would you give us some advice?

Hi,
the XBMC pandaboard image that I made contains the XBMC that is compiled
with GLES option you can compile the XBMC with --disable-gl,
--disable-gles options to disable the 3D all together but this is very
slow even on faster computers.
When both of these options are used during confugure XBMC prints following:
------------------------
  XBMC Configuration:
------------------------
...
  OpenGL: No (Very Slow)
...
