Hi Jorg, The availability of graphics drivers is obviously quite a hot topic at the moment. For your OMAP3 board, you are probably better off sticking with the ubuntu packages (you'll need to add multiverse in order to find the various '*-sgx-omap3' packages) as that will get you up and running fastest. We are working, through the landing teams at Linaro, to get drivers integrated and redistributable, but that is still a work in progress and does not include OMAP3 for this cycle. In the short term, these would also all be binary-only proprietary drivers (as the ones in the ubuntu packages for omap3 are). The free driver question is a much longer term project, though it has begun for us this cycle.
I hope this helps you out. cheers, Jesse 2011/1/20 Jörg Hohensohn <joerg.hohens...@dreamchip.de> > Hello, > > This is my first post, I'm a complete noop to Linaro, discovered it > yesterday.
