It is the local image downloaded from Armbian site. It's only using an preemptive kernel. linuxcnc software is just a package isntalled later. Putting this aside, let's assume I'm running a completely clean image (actually it is Armbian_21.02.3_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.10.21_xfce_desktop_h3) the problem is exactly the same. It's not anyone else build. I'm missing something?

You are right! I've been searching for help on too many places for too many time. Totally forgot this isn't the project forum. I'm sorry for the initial lack of information. I made an update to this topic giving some background and details about everything. Is there anything else I could be doing to make things easier?

Hi! I'm sorry, didn't noticed I had posted in wrong section, so here we go again! I'm trying to activate X11 hardware acceleration on this board. It's running an RT PREEMPT Kernel from the project AllwinCNC which aim to run linuxcnc software using ARISC core to generate steps in realtime. Unfortunately, I'm getting very bad performance in X11 with lima driver. It seems to be running on software and not the lima driver itself and I'd like to know if it is possible to have the graphics acceleration done in hardware instead. CPU usage is going to 100% and it is resulting in errors on the aforementioned CNC controller software due to this.
