HW accelaration on Debian Stretch #224

Open dimitrismj opened 6 years ago

dimitrismj commented 6 years ago

Hi! Bionic images supports hw accelaration but debian stretch does not. Can you fix it? Debian and Ubuntu are very similar distributions and according to the Rockchip official page they build their custom kernel and mali driver for debian stretch. So, my question is why we see bionic images supporting hw and not debian stretch images. Is it because of different versions? If the answer is yes, Bionic relies on debian testing so if we use debian-backports repo we cannot fix unmet dependencies? I would appreciate if you support Debian Stretch as well. Thanks in advance!

I would like to see hw acceleration on stretch, too. While video acceleration with mpv works good opengl/2D accleratrion would be great for gaming. I played quite a few AGS-Games on my rock64 (Shard Light, alle Ben Jordan Games, A Golden Wake and Puzzel Bots), SCUMM VM Games work mostly okay, too. Anything else unfortunatly to slow. Would like to see acceleration cause the stretch image is really stable and therefore very recommemended.
