Dunno if this is mentioned yet but TI is soon going to release a complete 2d driver for Omap socs.

TI's developer also explained in the forum why they haven't made the 3d parts open source yet.

Now as Intel is also using sgx for some socs there still is hope that imgtec will give up beeing hostile towards open source drivers.

Edit: If the rest of the driver is working properly there might be a chance to reverse engineer the 3d part. Afaik the open source Nouveau 3d driver for Nvidia chips is 100% made without any help from Nvidia whatsoever so it might be possible to do the same for sgx.
