3.14 Kernel

But the mali.so compiled userspace drivers, where to put them /system/lib?

Before that the kernel needs be patched with the r5p0-06rel0 kernel drivers.

Do they auto load or need to change something if a new kernel is used.

The kernel driver should be built into the kernel.

Do the framebuffer drivers provide any benefit or improvement since they have no X11 support yet.

No benefit for X11 support. Its useful for anyone that wants to be build/use an application with EGL/GLES or OpenCL again a framebuffer which is theory should be faster than X11 (although some of the previous mali drivers haven't always demonstrated that) .

Just got those Mali fb drivers to work .. short video of GLES 3.0 demo.

@naobsd thanks for the update, I'll given them a try. Not convinced about the VSYNC because the hdmi driver is similar to the i.mx6 driver and there's no VSYNC signal from hdmi. This is evident by some tearing when dragging windows.

@dewet your expectations are pretty high and mostly likely beyond what's possible for now (or in the next months ??) . I assume Firefly team will create a kernel/image with fbdev support based on 3.10 kernel. I have a patched up 3.14 kernel with limited features (mmc, ethernet, hdmi) that I'm experimenting with and I will try to post some instructions or images when I get some free time.
