We already got SGX working with Oneiric at our Overlay PPA, and should also be able to make that available directly at Ubuntu in the next few days. So we can already start validating and using Oneiric based images right now, if you're fine with SGX and Pandaboard. > I also don't quite understand why the updated Unity/Nux packages > wouldn't Just Work if installed on Natty -- is the issue that they > require updated X11 and Mesa? Nux is not API compatible, requiring Unity to be updated, which also requires a bunch newer libraries, making the backport not so trivial.
