No graphic acceleration with the Debian image with hardware accelerated video

I tried the complete image ready to write on SD-card of the Building A20-OLinuXino-MICRO Debian image with hardware accelerated video (found on the Olimex blog http://olimex.wordpress.com/2014/03/07/building-a20-olinuxino-micro-debian-image-with-hardware-accelerated-video/#comment-12213).
I didn't noticed hardware accelereted video with this image. For instance, the glmark2-es2 benchmark measure only few FPS for each test (between 1 and 6).
Do I need to configure something to activate the accelerated video ?

I did the same an I think that despite its name (**HDMI_SATA_TS_X_GPIO_OTG_MIC_Video_accel_release7.7z) the img is not configurated with it

it seems to me that they are additional steps (... a20_debian_fs_34_67_video_accel.tgz ...) which I tried but didn't succeed (probably I din't spend time enough on it).

@Olimex : Am I right ? if so, could you provide an img with allready activated video hardware acceleration ?

After all, this is the main reason why many people have bought this card !

Dear all,

no news about the supposed hardware acceleration? Actually it doesn't seem to exist...
I'm looking forward to news! :)

Hi All,

I did not test 3d acceleration, but video acceleration is working. I've written an howto about it here:
