BeaglePlay - Vulkan Enabled (mesa)

For some of us, this is a long time coming, ever since the first Omap3 Beagle was launched back in 2008..

We have an Open Graphics acceleration stack.. (while it’s only Vulkan today, more is coming)…

Out of the box, mesa 25.3.3 is installed.. Only Vulkan works, OpenGL is relying on future zink changes..

Broken Display…
