h1. Graphics on Replicant 9

This page documents the current progress and future plans for the graphics acceleration on Replicant 9. The original plan can be found at [[TasksFunding#Graphics-acceleration]]. Since then, through more in depth research and hands-on experience, several things have diverged.

Background information, as well as details on the software components and acronyms used on this document, can be found at [[GraphicsResearch]].
