I found this on beagleboard's google group discussion From: Jason Kridner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:14:14 -0700 (PDT) Local: Fri, Aug 1 2008 1:14 am Subject: Re: PowerVR drivers Reply | Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author I expect the drivers to be publicly available by the end of the year. Only the kernel portions will be open source.
