am currently trying to do some linux trickery with my ebook, and problem is i cannot get proper hardware rendering and glxgears runs at 15fps, kmscube at 2.5 and other woes, i assume it is possible to offload to Lima somehow?

Mesa uses kmsro in order to use a gpu for rendering on a display only driver (GUD).

It says here that Lima supports kmsro: https://lpc.events/event/5/contributions/328/attachments/420/670/lima.pdf

I know very little about userspace graphics so I don't know how you can find out if you have kmsro support for Lima in your system.
