I see, Frank Binns is writing the PowerVR driver that supports Rogue and he works for Imagination Tech, which was acquired by some Chinese entities. I wonder then how TI is involved.

At this point I'd be happy with just the framebuffer, which is fast enough for me, and an X server that really uses it. It seems the Xorg server is doing something odd and trying to use DRM instead.

Comparing Xorg and fbtest and Wayland, it is mainly Xorg that has the strange drawing effects like you see in the video.
fbtest has the least problems I'd say and it is quite fast.

But Wayland in your pinix-based image also has the problem of cursor trails, as you can see here: https://youtube.com/shorts/zyxnfSB9yss?feature=share

I just found this: https://developer.imaginationtech.com/op...pu-driver/
