Most likely, by the name and location, this is *not* a kernel module,
but an Xorg driver.

Does that also work with the upstream/openSUSE kernel?

My experience with almost anything hw-accelerated on raspberry Pi (I
only tried video decoding and encoding for now) is, that it only works
on 32bits (the code is basically a NOP for 64bit userspace) and on
raspbian-patched kernels.
