Ok I ahd alot of time again and got accelerated opengl running. Instructions:The kernel driver mali.ko is being inserted to late (after start of VM). I added a line:insmod /system/lib/mali.koat the first insmod section (it was in the second one originally) to the init.tcc92xx file.Follow those instructions. Hopefully someone who has more time then me can put out a new zip files for those less technical.Don't forget to give prop credit though ;)As far as the g-sensor is concerned: The init has the lines commented out and the akmd deamon is missing in the system. Can someone find this somewhere?Also there are 2 other kernel modules missing but are in the init to run. They maybe for the g-sensor or bluetooth. There are alot of stuff in the init. Check out the dmesg.Ok hope this helps.btw it runs really nice now. I just wish I had more time with a internet connectiion to posts some videos. Gonna try it monday.Update: glinfo detects only 1.0

Inserting a .so file is impossible, only .ko files can be insmodded maybe a typo ?Do you mean like this then ?

on early-init    device mtd@misc 0460 radio diag    device mtd@tcc 0666 root video    insmod /lib/modules/tcc92x_nand.ko    insmod /lib/modules/viqe.ko    insmod /lib/modules/tcc_sdio.ko    insmod /lib/modules/unifi_sdio.ko    insmod /lib/modules/ufsd.ko    insmod /system/lib/modules/mali.ko

We'd have to edit boot.img for this then (as those files are read-only)Edit: i modded my boot.img for a similar tablet with MALI (hsg-x5a) but i see no improvements at all. Please post your init.tcc92xx file

Thats it. Works on gt. I copied mine over in a console with root privs. Have you tried it on the gt??

Before use of Mali OpenGL libraries, the device driver mali.ko must be inserted into system, e.g. by "insmod mali.ko" command. When the kernel module is inserted, a device node "/dev/mali" should be created by command "mknod /dev/mali c 241 0", which provides the communication between the OpenGL libraries and the kernel driver

Maybe this could help ;)

care to post a step by step on how to update this......or if they have a boot.img with the mods....?

[johnciaccio]

Sorry , I am limited on internet acess time. I will try to put it in a update.zip. No boot image was needed. Only a modified tcc init file on my system.

[angus1357]

So all we have to do is add the line (...mali.ko) to the TCC init file? Where is that located?

[Asure]

For the record, those init files are not editable over adb, even with root privs.They are read-only in the boot.img. So i don't know why this got stickied at first..To prove my point, pull the mali.ko from the system with adb and then delete it. Reboot the system. Run a game. -> no OpenGLPut back the mali.ko in the right place, reboot system -> check differences.I used to think mali was broken on my telechips pads too, but it's actually working fine. Performance isn't that great, but you can certainly see the difference without it running.

[johnciaccio]

Actually they are in the base directory /You can use su from the terminal then copy them to the sdcard to edit them.Then from the terminal mv them back to /It is not hard.

Can a post a quick how to for the poeple who want to try this? I know your time online is short, but it would be very helpful in keeping the GT78 community going.

[johnciaccio]

make sure you are rooted and have a es file explorer installed.go Dev Tools>Terminal Emulator (at the bottom of the menu) make sure you are in portrait mode.in terminal type su and hit enterYour system should ask you if you would allow superuser permission hit always.type cd /type mv init.tcc* /sdcardnow you should have the init.tcc92xx.rc in your sdcard directoryopen it up with es file explorer as txt filego down to the line that says "insmod /lib/modules/ufsd.ko"after that lin enter "insmod /system/lib/modules/mali.ko" without the quotes of coursenow you can hit menu key and save the fileNow go back to the terminal and typemv /sdcard/init.tcc* /hit enternow reboot and it should be working.

[Asure]

Again, those files are stored inside the boot.img and can not be edited.You need to unpack boot.img with some of the tools out there and add back the init.rc* files. Pushing them may seem like it's ok, but they can't be written. Pull them after pushing, to see what i mean. I'd suggest to close this topic, since it's going nowhere and will not lead to improved mali performance.

Performance isn't that great, but you can certainly see the difference without it running.[/QUOTE'] I'm curious as to what a working Mali 200 produces in Quadrant Advanced 2d and 3d tests. On my V3 I get 120 and 221 on 2D and 3D respectively - fairly low if you compare to the results of a An3DBench run which gives 5.3K~, higher than the Dell Streak and other high powered mobiles. This an example of not working vs working?
