Err, what did you mean exactly? Could Nile use hardware graphics on the rPi? Why (not)? My current understanding is that to do this, we would have to interface with the rPi's firmware blob, effectively compiling Nile into using using openGL. It looks that it's possible, though not optimal (not only in terms of speed, but also because it may require more code). Is that correct?
