Ok so big update, the Pi4 does have GPU drivers but the way to use it is totally different to other Raspberrys and is now basically the same as other Linux SBCs using mesa drivers with libs and includes located in /usr/lib and /usr/include rather than opt/vc/lib opt/vc/include for the old broadcom drivers which do not work on Pi4
I've listed the set up elsewhere, I will also have to convert the sample projects to work with the new set up needed. It does mean that Pi4 needs a totally different configuration to function...this is the 1st time Raspberry has not been fully backward complient.
As always if you need help getting your pi set up, let me know.Ive worked out most of the kinks now.
If you are using Buster on Pi 0-3+ its all fine, continue as you were doing, there maybe changes coming as the new drivers mature, but for now we're still using Broadcoms IV drivers on the older systems
