I've just updated the instructions to use more recent versions of X.org and to be based on SHR (though your choice of distro shouldn't matter), and I wanted to check that things were OK. A very recent version of X.org is needed to use mixed mode pixmap handling, which speeds things up a lot. However, the dependencies are quite nasty so I'd welcome any feedback on whether the instructions work or not. You can build with a slightly older version (1.6.0 works), but it'll be a bit slower [1].

Tom [1] Actually, I think I just broke compilation with older version of Xextproto (7.0.5 and older).

Re: Android Donut on FreeRunner (was Re: Kernel Mode-Setting (KMS) on Neo FreeRunner + Debian)
I'm definitely looking into getting in touch with Michael Trimarchi. I'm interested to see if he can get some of the libglamo / glamo-dri code to fit in with Android's GL implimentation. If that's the case, then the FreeRunner graphics might actually speed up a bit (not to mention how nice it would be to have some of the video operations accelerated). Also, thanks for the tip about checkjni - any speedup we can get would definitely help.

Re: Kernel Mode-Setting (KMS) on Neo FreeRunner + Debian
Hi Tom, It's nice to know that you're still working on this [1]. I had a bit of a 'break' after I moved back to Germany and got back into my msc program. Things are naturally quite busy because I'm still working remotely at my engineering job in Canada, so it wasn't really that much of a break in reality. I've since become a bit fixated with Android Donut on my FreeRunner, and am just about finished building an ARMv4T generic version of Donut (hopefully everything links ok without relocations!). Next I'll have to try to integrate a massive diff of the KoolU-Cupcake changeset with Donut (ugghh..). Maybe I'll take a detour and test out some of the KVM / GEM stuff you've been working on when I get tired of Android hacking. Keep up the good work!

When trying to build the xf86-video-glamo, use autoreconf -vi first.
