Maybe I missed something but how can I get the 2D (twoD) acceleration working on the EFIKA MX?
There are no modules for that as far as I saw it.
i don't think you can get 2D acceleration ATM. the triangle demo (/usr/bin/simple_draw) that i posted a capture from was running at ~20fps - there's no way that a ~550x760 framebuffer (a tad more than half the screen at 1024x768 desktop) would be fill-rate-limited to 20fps on this chip (and it's a single triangle, so there's no other possibility for the bottleneck), so i attribute this performance to the fbdev xfce desktop i have here. even if the shader was going over memexport (at 16MPix/s) it should still be able to produce ~40fps at this resolution.

I just reinstalled with latest 12.3-ER1 Kernel and ubuntu minimal and Xfce Desktop - in general it works fine - but no graphics acceleration... :-/
When doing gpu-install for the 3D z430 I get (in dmesg):
<snip>
So I doubt it is working.
lsmod shows the modules.
did you install the userland package too? there's one rc.local there that looks rather important for the successful installation of the gpu drivers.

PS:
> 16MPix/s throughput
the theoretical througput is 166 MPix/s
over memexport? at 4 bytes/pixel, that'd be 665MB/s of bandwidth from the gpu to main ram. i doubt the system can allocate that much bandwidth to this task.
ps: for the record, i did not manage to get openVG acceleration - gpu-install reported something along the line of '3d enabled, VG disabled' at installation, and i did not see an immediate solution to that.
