this has nothing to do with armv6. armv4/5/6/7 etc. dont have any fb or gfx -
that's supported per SoC. see what others told you - talk to your SoC vendor
for support. you have an accelerated GPU there. you'll want support from therm.
the drivers for such GPU's are closed so only the vendor can help you.
