[meta-intel] State of GPU/QuickSync support without X11 on yocto

[Volker Vogelhuber]

I'm currently trying to set up a BSP for a Congatec QA3 board with an 
Intel Atom E3845.
The goal is to have an image with nothing more than a console and OpenGL 
via EGL.
So no X11 or DirectFB.
I'm a bit confused regarding the support for this configuration. On the 
intel site I found 
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/software/emgd/emgd-driver-epog-atom-e3800-linux-user-guide.html 
that mentions the EMGD driver.  On the Yocto site there is a BSP called 
Intel Atom Processor E3800 with Open Source Graphics (Valley Island). Is 
it possible to have accelerated h264 en-/decoding and OpenGL support 
with the valley island solution or is this restricted to the EMGD 
driver. If the later is the case, what's the reason to remove EMGD 
support as it seems the case 
(https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-intel/2014-September/002477.html).

And is it possible to have an OpenGL support without X11? Or is it 
limited to GL ES 2.0?
