Hi All,
I'm trying to enable hardware video acceleration on the HP Chromebook 11 but it isn't going very well.
I have seen several threads on this topic with the last activity being from a couple years ago and no solution.
Some old threads:
https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=7469
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87762
https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=9425&p=49119
https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=9313&p=48619
https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=8151&p=43945
https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=7794 <- almost exact same situation with no resolution.
So far...

If I delete 10-monitor.conf, xf86-video-fbdev is used and startx will work but without hardware acceleration.
Also tried these libraries without success: http://malideveloper.arm.com/resources/drivers/arm-mali-midgard-gpu-user-space-drivers/
Hardware acceleration is the last piece of Arch on the Chromebook 11 that I am missing...so close!
If anyone has tips or suggestions they will be greatly appreciated.
