If I understand it right, the n8x0 drivers will be ported to the latest mainline kernel thanks to the fine work of the MER developers.
Doubt that'll happen until rest of N8x0 kernel is mainlined, which may be never.

ok, but if the drivers are ported to the maemo 5 kernel, there must be at least one nokia employee who will be king enough to recompile the whole maemo 5 for the n8x0.
ok. I can see now that hoping in such a thing is stupid.

There was someone (if I remember correctly) who was trying to port the n8x0 drivers to the mainline kernel, in his spare time last summer.

I'll never stop hoping that one day I'll be able to compile and use a vanilla kernel n800.

Thanks, and keep up the good work! I'm so excited to see the 3d support!

I don't know what it is going on at the moment, but it should be possible. In my correspondence with TI more than a month ago, they confirmed that they would open the drivers under GPL.

We need a crack team to keep pushing where bri3d was going. Yes, it is supposedly for Android, but the work is very relevant for this kind of thing...

So far everyone trying to do work to get the N8x0 stuff to work in a mainline kernel gets only so far, and then they run out of steam...

As soon as I get my N810, that's probably going to be one of the first things I do. I almost finished porting the HP iPAQ H2200 kernel board code, which was stuck at Linux 2.6.21 on the handhelds.org CVS tree, to 2.6.33. I was planning on submitting it to mainline once I finished the framebuffer/LCD code, but that might not happen since I'm getting an N810 now. I'm still searching for one; I haven't purchased anything yet... Hopefully the source for the OpenGL driver will be out by the time I get it - I have a lot of things planned!

gTan64:

Just make sure you make your HP iPAQ H2200 kernel board code patches publicly available! I don't have one of those, nor do I plan to get one, but I hate seeing that kind of work lost on any platform!

I have to sell my iPAQ before I get my N810. Since it might be a matter of weeks before I get my N810, I'm probably going to finish the kernel for my iPAQ so its next owner (one of you? hey, it runs Linux!) can have more fun with it than I did - heck, I even got a N64 emulator* on it! As much as I want mainline, the Handhelds 2.6.21 kernel isn't that bad. I "only" want ramzswap, the gpio sysfs interface, overclocking, signalfd() so I can update udev and HAL on my Debian install, and 2D graphics acceleration. Doable I guess.

*running at ~2 FPS, but still somewhat playable. (Yes, I know "playable" is a stretch... )

Stskeeps:

The MBX drivers are running on plain Diablo, right? I'm assuming they haven't been tested on Mer & friends yet... How much cleanup have you had to do, and how much is left? Just wondering - I'm trying to figure out how much updating it would need for a "port" to the mainline kernel or linux-omap... I'm hoping it's not too much.

What about TV out?

n810 has the same 3,5 mm Nokia A/V connector that n95 and n900 has.

MBX drivers aren't N8x0 specific. They're for OMAP2.
