Disable hardware rendering

Hi, I'm trying to get software rendering instead of hardware rendering working on development boards. I found this (dated) post: https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/android-building/xtvBj2oekPo which enables software rendering on ICS for pandaboard. I have applied this patch to several boards, namely the Origen Quadhttp://www.origenboard.org/wiki/index.php/WiKirunning ICS, Odroid http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:odroid-xu running JB, and Arndale Octa http://www.arndaleboard.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Pagewith Jelly Bean. None of them worked: I cannot even compile the source after changing the code. I'm wondering if anyone have some updates or other way to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Cao
