Trying to open pmem and load libhgl is how the system knows, respectively, if surfaces need to be allocated in pmem and if h/w gl acceleration is available. Of course, we could have the system not do these things when it knows that that particular board doesn't have these features (ie: do the check at compile time). This mechanism is very crude, right know and it will be refined down the road. In the meantime, we could definitely make the log messages sound less dramatic. mathias > > Thanks, > > Benno > > On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 7:18 AM, Brian Swetland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> pmem is only needed for certain devices requiring large physically >> contiguous memory on the msm7k (gpu, dsp, etc).
