Quite probably.

By the way, the only way how gma500 is involved here is that you don't have
(proprietary) OpenGL drivers for it. Instead you have Mesa, which picks a
software renderer, because it's all it has.

"GL renderer: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe" and kms_swrast_dri.so refer to software
renderers in Mesa.

If you are stuck with software rendering anyway, you might as well forget
OpenGL, because Weston's Pixman renderer should outperform software OpenGL any
day, I believe. That's why I propose to just have --use-pixman for Weston. You
can still run software-rendered GL apps with Mesa as your OpenGL
implementation.

But if you really want to have kms_swrast_dri.so working, that's between you
and Mesa, I think.

If --use-pixman works, there is nothing to fix in Weston.
