What I understood from various discussions on IRC and the internet: there is a kernel space driver for Mali OpenGL ES, there is a user space driver for Mali OpenGL ES, startx fails because it searches for OpenGL(but the driver only offers OpenGL ES). The GUI/desktop/window manager must be configured to start without hardware acceleration(most GUI/desktop/window managers use OpenGL, very few started development for OpenGL ES). Only applications written for OpenGL ES can use hardware acceleration. Currently there is a lack of info (should Allwinner provide the info???) on configuring the xorg.conf to start without HW acceleration but to offer to applications OpenGL ES HW acceleration.
That is what I understood. I might be wrong.
