So I have my build now running with Cog 0.4.0 and WPE WebKit 2.27.2 and 
the webkit://gpu URL is working.  Despite having a 1920x1080 resolution 
screen and setting the default font size very small I’m still not 
convinced I am seeing all of the output and I don’t have a mechanism to 
be able to scroll the screen.

In the hardware acceleration information it says:

Policy - always
WebGL - Yes
API - OpenGL ES 2 (libepoxy)
Native interface - EGL
GL_RENDERER - Vivante GC880
GL_VERSION - OpenGL ES 3.0 v6.2.4.p4.190076
EGL_VERSION - 1.5

Does that make sense for a platform using the wpebackend-rdk for the 
i.MX6?
