Re: Failed to open vchiq device on RPi

I can confirm you should disable those if you happen to have the
corresponding dev headers installed, and most certainly disable X11 if you
want to avoid headaches. When configure ends you should only see the
Raspberry pi video driver (and the dummy one) for the most painless
experience...and also, don't be running X11 on the RPi when you try your
apps :)
