Has anyone managed to get xorg to use the mali yet, its supported just not in the main kernel but struggling with the community images.
Always end up reverting to software rendering and it sucks.

Been through practically all the community images and it seems the same but its really hard to tell if we are running distro xorg or the rockchip xorg.

Its supposedly supported but with what we have it doesn't seem to be.

rockchip_dri.so doesn't even exist

You are confused;  mali is only and always software rendering.  The mali is ONLY an in-memory accelerator for openGLES.  It does not support openGL, and it is NOT hardware rendering.  

And don't feel bad, you're not the only one with this persistent confusion.

You sure marcus as it would seem strange that so much driver dev is going on with the Mali.
Prob should of said Rockchip DRM.

I am trying to get xorg to run & kodi-standalone  and should be able to get a different renderer.

Currently the VMware LLVPipe thingy renderer is totally useless as its so slow and looking like this Rock64 is destined for the bin.

Any device with Mali 400 should have a properly working OpenGL ES 2.0 acceleration if
it has Mali/UMP modules in the Linux kernel and libMali.so proprietary
binary blob installed in the system.

Soon as I install libMali I just seem to kill x but am unable to get a log why apart from brief segmentation fault errors.

libmali used to be closed source but not any more.

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/libdrm-rockchip but seems to of ground to a halt and confused as hell to be honest

http://rockchip.wikidot.com/xserver

Something somewhere isn't right and I am thinking it could be the kernel space gpu driver is not compatible with userspace（libmali）.
I will install it again but thinking it will just kill things once more

Dunno but for some reason we are missing https://github.com/rockchip-linux/xserver so yeah there is no kernel modules for mail that correspond to the libs we have.

Look for a driver called armsoc.  I had one a year or so ago, didn't save it.  Definitely accelerated, I was playing videos with smplayer as easily as a Raspberry Pi does with omxplayer.  Very small CPU load so it was the GPU doing the heavy lifting,.

Duh, try this one: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64-package...deo-armsoc

Just a tip, these aren't obvious, you need xorg-dev and libudev-dev among other things.

-------------

By this post on the Odroid forum it was ARM's decision to push an immature Wayland that's to blame.  https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?p...ae#p273435  And the money is in Android so they don't care about Linux.  But I had it working on this machine a year or two ago.

[ab1jx]

If you look at the README that comes with Ayufan's  armsoc source there's a section:

Code:

RM driver selection
--------------------
While most operations use only the standard DRM modesetting interfaces, certain
operations
unavoidably rely on specific driver behaviour (including dumb buffer allocation
flags and cursor
plane z-ordering). As such, the armsoc driver should choose a particular DRM dri
ver dynamically
according to the current environment.

The currently supported DRM drivers are:
- pl111
- exynos
- kirin
- sti

For other drivers, you will need to implement this support yourself. A template
implementation is
provided in src/drmmode_template.
The interface is defined and documented in src/drmmode_driver.h, and you should
refer to this while
modifying the template to set up your DRM driver's abstraction appropriately.

You can also copy src/drmmode_template into src/drmmode_<yourdrivername>,
modify the driver_name to match with the name used in the kernel drm driver.

In src/drmode_rockchip is a drmmode_rockchip.c which may be the source of the missing rockchip_dri.so.  It gets compiled to a .lo file which may become part of the armsoc driver.

It doesn't entirely look happy but it's in there somewhere.  But for OpenGL ES it still runs Mesa.  Maybe there's still something missing, maybe that's all it can do.  I haven't tried this package yet, partly because there's no uninstall https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9310-rk3...-renegade/

----------
I was just trying the Ayufan armsoc on my N2 last night.  There's no /dev/dri device on that, which it looks for.  There is on this Rock64.  It gets created when you have a drm/dri driver loaded I think.

Hee-hee, I'm running xorg in one virtual terminal and playing with Wayland/Weston in another.  ctrl-alt-fn to switch, cute.

[tomarm]

You are confused;  mali is only and always software rendering.  The mali is ONLY an in-memory accelerator for openGLES.  It does not support openGL, and it is NOT hardware rendering.  

And don't feel bad, you're not the only one with this persistent confusion.

Hi I'm new to this forum and R64.  Can you point me to some tech docs that prove this statement you're making is true about mali 450 gpu?   It won 't run a a hardware accelerated opengles2 based toolset and DE like qt5/kde?  Doomed to fbdev and the likes?
