    I can state that I have several apq8064 devices, including a nexus4, all of which work fine with a linux userspace with no closed src kernel or userspace parts.



    true, when lima actually becomes a GL driver, I would recommend exynos devices with mali (but not ones with powervr). Until then, it is not terribly much use to anyone who isn't working on a FOSS GL driver.
    Rob have you checked if the jolla phone can work without closed bits??

      I haven't.. although I expect it can..

      making a phone call might be another matter.. no idea what modem it has. Although I thought people tended to hook up modems w/ something like AT over some sort of serial connection.. maybe it is just a matter of sending some AT commands to it, like in the old days of dial-up internet? But I am really not a modem/telephony person so I could be way off.

        The specs: http://reviewjolla.blogspot.gr/2013/...periences.html

        The GPU is Adreno 305.

Ie. a320.0 is same as a330.0 but slight differences (basically, certain workarounds no longer needed) compared to a320.2.

          I expect all that would be needed in mesa is a one line patch to add it to the whitelist. I just need someone with a305 hw who can test and confirm that, since I don't have anything w/ a305.
