I know that we talked in Orlando about hwcomposer and that usually is not necessary to run all the things properly. But checking the logs, seems that the unique thing to get it working is identify which library is looking for it with which name and then test it. Right now I am seeing in the logs entries like "Could not find hwcomposer". So, I think is good to use this hwcomposer and fork it to be used in the port, then find why is not loading correctly. The rom itself doesn't crash for not find hwcomposer lib, so this is not a major blocker. This is the repo to fork https://github.com/Gioyik/hwcomposer-rpib2

Well looking at the code, I'm not very convinced by the value of that. We should verify if the RPi2's GPU has a hardware composer, otherwise I don't see the value in having to maintain this :)

Sure, anyway let's fork this repo first as the build system needs it, and I'll file a new bug to see if makes sense to keep this module alive. https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/hwcomposer-rpi2b
