Ubuntu 16.04 with Mali Drivers anyone?

Hi there,

I didn't keep up with what was going on here in the last months.
Is there a newer Kernel around that is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04 and provides Mali-Support? Did anyone manage to provide a ready-to-go ubuntu-image with hardware accelerated GPU?

If not: does sb. want to buy my firefly rk3288?

Yours

So you havn't even tried Slackware Linux with mainline kernel and working Mali GPU acceleration with X11 yet?

i agree, check out the link dewet posted, I'm running that slackware build and its running pretty good so far

having thought on this for a bit though now that there is a running version of the 4.6 kernel with Slackware I'm sure someone smarter then myself will be able to get a debian system running pretty soon

Actually: I didn't and honestly: I wont. I am used to debian and ubuntu for quite some years now and don't want to invest time in understanding how things work with slackware.
