Thank you so much for your help on this!
I've been able to verify HW working in all examples you provided. I still don't quite understand how to turn this into something usable, as any examples that have used the HW were not in Python, which is the only language I know at all... still just learning that one. Using your example, I could potentially just process my image transitions into videos beforehand and play them back when needed. But so far I've failed to get this running with pogles, kivy, pyqt5, or rpigl. RPIGL causes a segmentation fault as soon as it tries to create the window, and I haven't been able to get pogles, pyqt5, or kivy to even install. They all fail, kivy can't find GL, pyqt5 (specifically installing qt open source version) I can't even make sense of why its failing, and pogles seems to have an issue with my sip. I may have configured sip for the wrong platform, but even still I'd have a very hard time trying to integrate pogles into my program. The RPIGL examples I can make sense of enough to make it do what I need, and I've done a test in kivy before that I could work with. But is this where I'm misunderstanding GL vs GLES? Kivy says it uses OpenGL ES, but still seems hung up on GL. PyQt5 seems to me the most promising if I can make it install, but are these all just lost causes trying to make run?
EDIT: And looking back through the QT make log it looks like it is getting hung up on GL stuff as well. Which comes back to, am I misunderstanding how these work or do they just need to be configured a different way?
