OpenMW on a Raspberry Pi (?)

[psi29a]

Good news, bad and ugly news.

Good news:
* Compiles
* Launcher works, installation works just fine.
* OpenMW launches and runs

Bad news:
* Xorg/X11 uses fbdev, slow. No 2D nor 3D acceleration.
* There is a fbturbo which takes advantage of ARMv6, but it only works with X11 abi12, which is wheezy. It hasn't been updated to for abi18 used in Jessie.
* Ogre3D is compiled with OpenGL Subsystem only. This is currently only supported with the software rasterizer, which is slow.

Ugly news:
* There is a fully 2D/3D acclerated driver being worked on here: http://elinux.org/RPi_Xorg_rpi_Driver
And boy, is it ugly... work in progress here.
* Ogre3D in Debian (and Ubuntu) needs to be updated to support GLES2 by default.

Just FYI, Eric Anholt was hired by Broadcom to develop a DRM and Mesa (Gallium) driver for the VideoCore 4 so we'll hopefully get a real driver in a year or so.
