Yes, efficiency, but let's remember the stable-tracking kernel has Glamo core clock boosted from 50MHz to 80MHz with some wait states disabled - it also does bring additional performance to play with / optimize for. And I don't know what where the exact details for some big (?) wait state somewhere in the driver that was earlier hoped to be gotten ridden of, but which turned out not to be easy? Something, somehow, is anyway hopefully fixable in addition to boosting the clock speeds, since the CPU usage of using Glamo seems quite ridiculous at times. > I'm taking a protective role for the community in all this.

This is something that depends on what the mentioned hackers want to do. It's not anyone else's job to tell others how to spend their free time. And also "little return" is quite relative. As for QVGA Glamo 3D support, I think it would be really worthwhile not only to have it, but to have the possibility to try out eg. Clutter-based applications during GTA02 lifeframe. It would benefit a lot also the future generations of Openmoko hardware. > By the time the GTA03's entering its lifetime, hopefully there should > be some good options available.

I'm hoping that with the openness on the desktop side - AMD, Intel, Via and XGI, it cannot be indefinitely until there is also mobile graphics chipsets available with open documentation. It's not that much more special and on the desktop side you have already basically "everybody but one vendor" (nvidia). -Timo _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
