Whats funny with that? Its very logic.

Nokia X has probadly newer Qualcom something with better GPU than N9 with 5 year old HW.

N9 Omap GFX driver is old and X11 only.

I guess Qt5/QtQuick2 and Wayland is using OpenGL more heavily than N9 did and depends on good better 3D GFX HW drivers.

There seems to be same issue with mer kernel adaptions for Qt5/Wayland for beaglebone black (anyone knows if there exist any mer/nemo/sail kickstart files for beaglebone black btw?) it has almost same GFX as N9 if I remember correct.
