I had this marked to Follow Up but managed to ignore it until now, sorry.

GLES without X11 should work using EGL, but that will be using the
closed cdv-pvr-drivers package.  If you can't use those for other
reasons, then you're stuck.

(yay closed drivers)

I understand that Ubuntu contains a re-packaging and re-build of the
CedarView binary drivers - it may be worth seeing what kernel they are
built against as I believe that the stack is slightly new than the
MeeGo-derived binaries that we're using.
