Hi Luke
On the topic of GPU's have you seen this?
https://github.com/etnaviv/etna_viv

yeahyeah i have.

Seems to be a libre driver for Vivante GPU's

it is. the problem with vivante is that their *own* proprietary
driver is so shit that the entire reputation of vivante's technology
has been shot to shit.

i spoke with one fabless semiconductor company, urging them to use
etnaviv: unfortunately my contact used the word "vivante" when talking
to the engineer, who told my contact "it's shit. it keeps crashing.
so we won't use it".

whoopsie...
