 SGX was back-ported to the 3.8 tree as of the bone41 release.

Thank you Robert  I am aware of the patches as you mention however, I am 
unsure how to actually build the graphics sdk in question with using your 
kernel 3.8.13-bone41(43.1). The information I have found is using different 
build systems and are not clear, whereas your later kernels have all this 
integrated but do not support the LCD4 cape.

Can your script in the later kernels be used to build the drivers for the 
3.8 kernel ?

Thanks.
