Its not perfect yet. We have yet to get video working. Also the
current browser is dillo which is not the most popular browser.
X11, Mesa and Firefox were made to works by Zhang Le and others some
years ago on their overlay. What caused the regression ?
Frankly, hacky work and never getting the patches upstream.
X11 works: the xorg-server-9999 ebuild in the Loongson overlay applies
3 patches that make X work. Mesa also works, although there's no 3D
driver for any relevant hardware. Firefox -- no clue. Haven't tried
it.
I'm going to return to the question of the browser next, and I can post
what the problems are. I should say that these images were created as
cleanly as possible. Everything has gone upstream, no ugly hacks. I
should add that I did get video working, but I'm not happy with how I
did it, so its not in there. When I clean things up, I'll get that in
too. I want Gentoo fully supporting the yeeloong, so users can have
quality assurance.
