Hi,

 

I'm trying to run weston on Odroid XU4, but it does not start. Seems something is wrong with GPU drivers.

 

I have installed "Armbian 25.2.1 Bookworm Minimal" image and then installed weston via apt.

 

Then, trying to run the weston fails with error:

Runing weston in pixman mode with "weston --use-pixman" succeeds, but I need accelerated weston.

 

Any idea how I can install the missing GPU drivers?

Installing `libegl1` makes weston run, but GPU is not used, rendering is done via software mesa.
