This may be of interest to those of you who asked about graphics and the A20.
It came up on the Parabola dev list, but I figured I'd share it here:

Hi Jim,
I can field these. EOMA68s *all* contain Mali GPUs - however, since the driver
is completely memory-mapped, if you run a libre kernel (as Parabola does), it
would not be included, and hence, would not even run. So the fallback will
occur.
The easiest way would be to use a USB hard drive.
The potential availability of Free EOMA68 cards is terrific. I was
astounded to learn about Intel ME and the AMD equivalent. Eventually
we'll run out of old Intel and AMD chips, and will have to wean
ourselves from them, unless we can persuade them to change.
I have two technical questions I'

Hi Tobias,
Where is this driver located? How difficult would it be to build and set

Last I heard, it wasn't yet workable. If there *is* a driver for the
Mali 400,
that *would* be really awesome.

I contacted the project - here is the response that I received. Hopefully this
should clear up Cascardo's concerns (and anyone else's).

Note that the A20 SOC comes with a Mali GPU, which does not have a free
driver that I know of. There are reverse engineering efforts, in the
Lima project, but lack of manpower means it has yet to produce a driver
users could install.
Thanks for that Cascardo - I've asked them a question on Crowd
