That does not really matter. You can upload a sw-rendered picture to
that GL-ES surface. Which differs from previous, sw-rendered X11 only
in the upload path.

IOW: it's a very simple matter to adapt X to running on your GLES
board. Probably some dozen lines of code, though would have to be
written by someone who knows X and GLES.
