I've been following the tegra and lima (Mali 400) upstream work pretty closely but neither is actually usable for gnome-shell yet to be worth, IMO, even to be packaging it in a third party package. In he case of the freedreno while the work is cool the qualcomm SoC is primarily shipped on phones and tablets [1] which isn't our primary focus so while would be cool to support I'm unsure what the user experience would be like if we did ship it. Side note there is upstream multi platform support for the MSM SoCs now but I have no idea how complete this is (eg AllWinner MP support is upstream but it's still only core SoC/serial/mmc) Peter [1] I've seen one dev board -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
