Hey Guys
I need some help getting the HW acceleration working on the Pine64. Any and all guidance would'd be much appreciated. Thanks !

You can check out on Sunxi. http://linux-sunxi.org
Hey tllim it looks like we need the mali linux binary to get some 2d/3d acceleration working. It looks like it was not packaged in the BSP kit (3.10.65 kernel or 3.4). Any chance you can get a copy of the mali binaries so we can acceleration working.
Please and thanks.
If you like my work be sure to check out my site or wish to donate to the cause
Cheers

Try https://github.com/ssvb/xf86-video-fbturbo instructions included
I have binaries for Ubuntu of xf86-video-fbturbo in a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archiv...our-makers - the ppa is added by default with my Xenial image.

Can we use GLES with this? It seems it is still using MESA Software rendering drivers after installing this.
If libMali for arm64 is not available, http://limadriver.org a solution, maybe?
I was able to compile the Mali-Fbdev drive from the ARM Mali website. Now I'm downloading the kernel source so I can compile the mali_drm kernel module, not included with xenial. I will try the libmali.so binaries for arm64 also available from the ARM Mali website.

Damn, Mali DRM module is incompatible with 3.x kernels
https://community.arm.com/thread/4029
Just tried to compile it and found several symbols not available anymore. This may need some development. 
Yes that's why it is not built in my kernel :-)

I've just found someone that updated mali_drm to work with the new drm kernel functions (for kernel 3.x)
https://github.com/loboris/OrangePI-Kern...dules/mali
It compiles just fine using your kernel source (3.10.65). But I cannot insert the module, maybe something I'm missing:
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module mali_drm.ko: Invalid module format
Ok, i'm having some problems with the magicversion (somehow it added a plus sign after the extra version), forcing is not working either, I will check this later.
