revisiting this after a while and sadly its not moved forward much, as far as graphics are concerned, theres a lovely GPU in there in the G52 which I think is 6 core but so far no way to access it, or even emulate it. Mesa libs just don't install and no GPU accelerationis available for X11 and I have not worked out how to do anything else.
I really expected there to have been some progress in the last 6 months but aside form the usual, "here's how to build your own OS with 70% functionality (but thats all I needed so am not doing any more)", there's no sign of a nice stable version of Ubuntu or Debian with drivers like the XU4 enjoys...strange.
Odroid do seem to be working on a DRM version and have a version of GLMark2 up and running, but no idea how that will filter down into a usable OS.
I kinda like the idea of a DRM/Wayland version cos its something I want to know how to set up...but its taking a while.
Back in the drawer, which is upsetting as this potentially is the beast of all ARM systems.... give it time.
