In case you missed my other email, we have device info for the GX6250
variant you’re using in [2]. I’ve been informed that branch should be
usable as-is – can you give that a try?

Ah yes, not perfectly as-is then. These lines (pvr_drm_configs) declare
the pairing of GPU to display hardware. You’ll still need this tweak.

We haven’t been testing with window systems yet – can you try building
the Sascha Willems demos [1] with -DUSE_D2D_WSI=ON and try running
triangle?
