Re:Re: OpenGL to OpenGL ES change on arm64?

Hi All,
We have ARM64 devices used AMD Radeon  Series graphics cards。So,same as x86 we really need a full OpenGL Qt support With ARM64 。

We *are* going to be using the Qt GLES stack, for 64-bit ARM phones / devices.  We have an immediate need for GLES-enabled Qt because these chips have accelerated GLES drivers, not accelerated GL drivers.  And this is exactly the same thing that we already have on armhf, not a "third way".  --  Steve Langasek                   Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer                   to set it on, and I can move the world.
