I have even run some Fremantle SDL_gles apps (tuxrace, brain party) but the results are mostly appalling. A few seconds just to load a 800x480 texture; load two of these and crash. While there's still hope this might be caused by bugs/low memory conditions on the opened parts of the driver, it's not very rewarding to develop them...
I think I've said this a few times, but I can set up a garage or gitorious project if someone is really interested in contributing.

Just quickly answering this one - Nokia only pushed TI to do this, but the absense of a driver is not a fault of Nokias, it was not their driver to give.
I was quite surprised to hear that TI announced they had a working driver for N8x0 at Maemo Summit and started planning for this arrival.
Now, imagine my surprise when it turns out they (TI) did not actually try it on anything but their development platforms and not with the N8x0 devices, in fact, had not been developed wit N8x0 nor did they have any to test on?
That screws up things quite a bit when a small task of integration turns into a driver porting task. As it was a high priority of the community, I spent a -lot- of nights working on this, with some kind of workable result. Now, there is still some work to be done in that area, but it is out of my expertise. Maybe it returns now with the MeeGo for N8x0 port.

From this thread.
So the driver is total BS. Would it possible to push TI to do something about it? If they promised driver for N8x0 they didn't really deliver. Probably not but it seems to me that if TI doesn't fix the driver, N8x0 will never have working 3D acceleration.

At this point, does it matter anymore? It's like begging at the table for scraps, now. I'll be happy just to have an updated kernel and decent 2D accelerated graphics just so I can have an updated operating system and finally get out of being stuck in 2008.

To deliver apps on what platform? Mer? MeeGo? What's the point right now?
I wish I could sound less gloomy and doomy but.. yanno.. Nokia.. abandoned.. Mer.. Meego. But in all seriousness, what do you mean?
Pardon me if I don't cry out, "I'll believe it when I see it." at this point.
We are talking about 3D accelerator here but does this same driver also do 2D acceleration?
