Not sure trying to port Mesa to a 300 MHz device is going to give you
acceptable performance. Softpipe would use many seconds to render a
single frame, and last I tested Gallium llvmpipe was quite far away from
running on ARM (if that is your platform), due to lack of JIT support in
the LLVM ARM backend. Granted, that was about a year ago, so things
might have improved, but I'm skeptical. Even with llvmpipe performance
would be bad on a low-end device.

Get proper hardware acceleration, and in the mean-time do your testing
on a device or desktop that already has OpenGL :)
