Yeah, I think your time would be better spent elsewhere. > Does xf86-video-modesetting work properly with the exynos_drm kernel > driver on your hardware? It is useful to first check whether the > kernel is really functional. Yes, it works reasonably well. Not perfect, I did catch a hang, and 800x600 doesn't work quite right, but I think that is fixable. I'd definitely invest more time into it if/when it seems like there is an available X DDX with Mali around the corner. > Right now fbturbo is built on top of the xf86-video-fbdev chassis. > Just because it simply works everywhere and provides the best > compatibility with various hardware.
