    Hi guys,

    I was able to cross compile Qt5 for udoobuntu12.04 v2.1 like the one suggested by your tutorial.
    I try to run some qml programs but the acceleration looks very slow.
    My question is the follow: openGL is handled by Hardware or Software?
    If I try to run glxinfo command it reports to me "Error: couldn't open display (null)". How can I solve it ?
    Thanks in advanced for your support

    Riccardo

    Officially there's no Open GL support (so sofware), only Open GL ES is accelerated on the i.mx6.
    glxinfo report the error because you need to export the display eg "export DISPLAY=:0' or run it from terminal session on the monitor/tv.
