To have the drivers being acceptable in mainline, it would be worth following how the SGX drivers are faring as the style is similar. |

I'm waiting for good news! |
Re: The N800 has a 3D accelerator, right?
After the "launch" of the N900, we're pretty good at waiting for months with nothing but screenshots, hints and teasers. We don't need public repositories or open code!
Good to see that the community devs are taking a page out of Nokia's book here. We all want to be like our parents when we grow up. ;) |
Re: The N800 has a 3D accelerator, right?
There are still licensing issues to be resolved, but afaiu it's not too far off now.

Re: The N800 has a 3D accelerator, right?
Yesterday I install on my n800 Xephyr 7.6 with libgl-mesa-dri package. After launch Xephyr, next I launch glxgears for testing GLX but it show me only 8-10fps, next I expand glxgears window on fullscreen and gears speed slow down about 1fps. I think it a problem with driver swrast_dri.so. Maybe we add to swrast_dri.so suppport of framebuffer, sdl, XSP or Xvideo (with YUV12 hardware output) for better performance?
Here glxinfo output Code:
name of display: :1.0 |
Re: The N800 has a 3D accelerator, right?
The glxinfo output is great news.. Thanks to everyone involved. Both TI, and anybody at Nokia that facilitated making available the information necessary for the developers to be able to ... develop? As well as the developers that managed to work with the information provided and produce something workable.
However, I'm always wanting it all... :D So, how about the rest of the OMAP2 processor capabilities that we don't know how to take advantage of? Spoken of at this page TI OMAP2 Gaming Brochure. Things like the IVA which would be helpful for mplayer and vlc I assume. More information about the DSP interface, I realize that Simon Pickering has done a wonderful job with this already, but he and others could do better with complete documentation. Especially in the best way to transfer/share data being transformed by the DSP. I understand that the IVA is another ARM based processor running in parallel to the ARM11 main processor. I could see that being used to off load gstreamer processes, and maybe even some of the A2DP processing that is still problematic. Can you say full H.264 decoding? Probably not... There are enough co-processors as part of the OMAP2 package, it would be nice if they were all available to interested parties. There is even functionality in the ARM11 processor to assist interpreted bytecode processing like Java VM and Python. This is another function that somebody has been able to figure out, but again it would be better if documentation was available on how best to use the extra features. The OMAP2 product is old enough now that maybe TI could be persuaded to continue their wonderful trend of helping the open source developers have the tools to utilize their hardware to the limits of it's capabilities. To read a better and more reasoned dissertation on this subject look here Drivers Justification |

OpenGL-ES and OpenGL_ES_Libraries. Judging by those pages, how much maemo 5 will work, will depend on if clutter, and QT has an OpenGL ES 1.1 mode, it looks like SDL already does. If it's just a matter of the libraries, maybe they would automatically use the highest level of OpenGL available. Not really likely though. For the most part, I don't believe that there is much direct OpenGL code in the applications, most of it is in the Libraries used, be they QT or SDL. |
Re: The N800 has a 3D accelerator, right?
After all this time.. all the waiting, I feel disappointed with TI. Profoundly. They should feel shameful for hurting development.
