No. It is not possible, at least with a 945G-class GPU.

I thought you were talking about the i915 kernel driver, which also supports newer hardware and I'm using with modesetting.

For the uninitiated, that is GMA 950. It's kinda ancient shit though, found in 2005 chipsets and first and second gen netbooks.

AMDGPU-PRO runs glamor with GBM.
