I was looking for a way to install Linux with Mali GPU support on my Samsung chromebook, so I was excited to find the guide at : http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/features/graphics-and-compute-development-on-samsung-chromebook/
However, I've followed the above guide (twice) and I'm es2_info reports the Software Rasterizer. I expected it to report a MALI rasterizer. Is this guide correct or did I do something wrong (twice)?
Can you help me figure out what is going wrong?
es2_info
es2_info reports (full log here: Ubuntu Pastebin)
libEGL warning: failed to create a pipe screen for armsoc
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open armsoc (search paths /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri)
I then tried copying armsoc_drv.so to that directory, but still got the same error
X Log info:
X reports and opens Mali-T6XX but AIGLX does report the following (full log here: Ubuntu Pastebin)
AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
I don't know if this revert applies to everything in OpenGL or just the GLX part
I think the guide would be helpful if it added a section on installing and running a test program (such as es2_info) to ensure the install was successful. Also a test program that used the fbdev would also be helpful to me.

There was some library config stuff I had to do in order for GL apps to run using HW accel. I don't remember the exact steps but they should be relatively simple if you're familiar with the typical Linux environment.
What does it say when you list the library dependencies for an OpenGL ES application? ldd `which es2_info`
