After some investigation, David found out we were going through some memory-consuming path [1]. A way to workaround it is by using only OpenGLES. Everything still works here after this patch, so it seems to be a good change to get in.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This change needs Qt 5.4, to get the new API that lets us enforce a QSurfaceFormat, hence having it ifdef'd.<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
I'm quite unaware of problems we might find. Knowing we probably want to work in different embedded devices, suggests that OpenGLES on all platforms sounds like a safe bet.</p>
