After removing DRM from being compiled into my 3.2.23 kernel, I had my first initial success with running SGX on my BeagleBoard C4 based on my BeagleBox build.  After an initial boot where I stopped my current Xorg session, I ran omap_demo to setup the environment.  Not sure what this does but I think it does a bunch of symlinking from /usr/local/XSGX to /usr/lib, and so forth.  Anyway, this tried to launch the SGX Xorg session, but it failed.  I rebooted and ran the rc.pvr script manually.  That launched the SGX Xorg on my DVI display but without any clients.

From the serial console I ran glxgears -display :0.  The gears ran on the DVI display at about 47 fps.  Not too good, but at least it ran.  Running it with -fullscreen dropped the FPS to about 5, which is terrible.

So it’s not perfect, but it’s running.  That means I have a working build that supports SGX, even if it doesn’t start at boot time.  Things are gettin’ better.
