Samsung posts first open ARM gpu driver (kms / modesetting)

The Exynos 4210 is used in the Galaxy S II among others. This is the first open modesetting driver for an ARM gpu; while it does not do 2d or 3d accel, it is a step nobody has taken before.

With this, one could use Xfbdev for an unaccelerated X.


Let's hope Samsung brings open 2d and 3d accel too.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
