2D: Skip. AMD and Vivante already do so, NVIDIA will too IIRC. The 2D accelerators were mostly for windowing systems now replaced by composting systems, including MS Windows, and other means, Androids SurfaceFlinger, etc. The missing functions are now done on 3D or CPU.
yyeah which i'm not keen on (critically relying on 3D) - that means you *have* to have OpenGL. plus if using ORSOC Graphics Accelerator it would actually be necessary to rip those features *out* of it.
ORSOC GPU is smart, it has scalable vector font support, z-buffer support, 3D polygon display and much more. really cool.
Don't know if opengl is a hard dependency now that vulkan is out there.
