I've tried the instructions at 
http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/Compile_X11_driver_for_A10/, but 
all I get is a blank screen
I'm using VGA output, and Xorg.log stops when loading the mali module:
[    23.878] (II) LoadModule: "mali"
[    23.879] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mali_drv.so

I'm using the default kernel in github and all modules are loaded:
lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
8192cu                508465  0
mali_drm                1954  0
drm                   176728  1 mali_drm
mali                  130896  0
hdmi                   15237  0
lcd                     2706  0
disp                  219086  2 hdmi,lcd
ump                    42542  2 mali,disp

I use /etc/module as follows:
lcd
hdmi
ump
disp
fb
mali
mali_drm
8192cu

So the order seems fine, except I don't have an fb.ko modules because it 
is built-in the kernel.

I'm using Linaro 12.06 ALIP rootfs (armhf), so I'm not so sure what is 
causing, and looking for advice before I dig into mali_drv code.
There are 2 r2p4 versions: r2p4-02rel1-02rel1(the one I use) and 
r2p4-02rel0 so I'm not sure I use the right one.
