Is Jolla using freedreno drivers for their GPU?
Rob Clark is working on a free driver for the Adreno series of GPUs, the same GPUs that are used in Jolla AFAIK.
Is Jolla using these freedreno drivers? And if not why?
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.

I'm sorry, but I did not understand your question! You state that Jolla uses freedreno, and then you ask if anyone at Jolla looked into this?
What is your question really??
dsilveira ( 2014-05-19 02:09:09 +0200 )editI mean that the adreno GPUs is used by Jolla. They probably use a binary blob as a driver.
ApB ( 2014-05-19 10:56:08 +0200 )editI got it now, it's just they way you wrote it, made it hard to understand, I edited it for you :)
also removed an incorrection pertaining the freedreno not being complete, it's only lacking opengl > 2.1 and has better performance than the proprietary, so.
dsilveira ( 2014-05-19 18:22:28 +0200 )edit@dsilveira, are you sure about completeness/performance? Current Jolla certainly uses Android binary drivers for the GPU via libhybris, I suppose there is a reason for that?
mornfall ( 2014-05-19 18:42:46 +0200 )editAre you sure about that?
There might be several reasons why that would be, like hardware adaptation isolation, etc.
