Lothar did quite a bit of work on this, but we had the issue of the GBM API, where I tried to do a virtual package, but it didn't work well, Lothar did further experiments with Qt with GBM, and it worked, but I never had the chance to have a look. So, I wouldn't blame Lothar for not updating the defconfig here :-) Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
