Truth be told I'm not entirely sure what I was asking about. Only that
the "experimental GL driver" seemed to speed up the Neverball demo in
fairly impressive fashion and that nothing further seemed to be happening.

There was some publicity about Broadcom releasing the the VC4 manual
as an aid to developing a GPU-based video driver, which I _thought_
was the accelerated GL driver. The link is here:
https://docs.broadcom.com/docs-and-downloads/docs/support/videocore/VideoCoreIV
-AG100-R.pdf

It's quite unclear to me just how much help such a document might be:
Likely not much to a device driver writer, but maybe necessary to someone
writing a code generator for a compiler.

The role of Wayland in the enterprise is rather unclear.

Thanks for reading, and any insights!
