Hello Nikolaus,

I haven't had a lot of time in the last couple of days to test the 
userspace libraries. I did manage to try kmscube but I don't believe 
the userland on the older version has support for GBM and that was 
preventing it from working. I also tried running some of X11 example 
application that are provided in the userland and had little luck 
there. I was going to try building that Mesa fork  from Ivaylo's 
suggestion but haven't had a chance to test that yet.

I suspect the problem with the userland libraries has to do with device 
class issue, so if Ivaylo's suggestion doesn't work I am going to 
invest my effort in trying to get the device class code working.

Regards,
Lucas
