An Open-Source GLES Driver For Samsung's Galaxy GPU
Embedded Linux GPU driver support is a great big mess. There's no doubt about it. There's some partial open-source driver code, but nothing that's been quite popular or welcomed for integration into the mainline Linux kernel. There might be an open-source PowerVR SGX driver later in the year, but that's still months out. However, with more mobile Linux devices emerging that utilize these closed-up ARM GPUs, clean-room reverse engineering to write open-source drivers is going to be inevitable unless the vendors step up their Linux support game.
There's now an effort underway to write an open-source driver for the Samsung S3C6410 GPU as found in the Samsung Galaxy Spica (GT-i5700). The goal of this open gles6410 driver is to provide an open-source driver that is capable of providing OpenGL ES 1.1 and possibly OpenGL ES 2.0 support for the S3C6410.
