The recent Raspbian release comes with a vc4 kernel module that can be activated with a device tree overlay. In this case, we want to use the DRI & Mesa / Gallium3D driver instead of the BCM VC IV one, whose userspace library remains in /opt/vc.

This is JOGL 2.3.2 with two fixes I wrote on top: sgothel/jogl#96 sgothel/jogl#97 Makes the output window centered when using the default closed-source driver on the Raspberry Pi, and adds support for using the new OpenGL driver with the files of the old one still in place.

I have a test version of this back-ported to 2.3.2 ready for testing: https://github.com/gohai/processing/commits/arm-jogl-fixes I'd love to use something like this downstream, but waiting for upstream opinion first ;) |

I have filed a JogAmp JOGL bugreport to track all issues related to the new version of Raspbian with dual OpenGL ES implementations. |

When the VC4 DRM driver isn't loaded, we want to load the VC IV GLES2 driver, which is - unfortunately - only available as libGLESv2.so.
