Indeed on all counts. I just realized that since OpenMoko comes with X already, no porting should actually be necessary. Of course, if there is some sort of 2D accelerated hardware, then it would be useful to write a backend that uses the hardware directly... There isn't, sorry.

OpenGL on the Neo1973??
Hello all, I have been reading the postings here for a few months, and up till now all my questions have been answered fairly well without having to post anything of my own. I had an idea for a program I wanted to contribute to the community, but had a quick question first. I mostly program in C++ and any graphics programming I have done has always been done with OpenGL. I understand that openmoko is written using GTK+ and I could easily use GTK-- with C++, but I am much more fluent using OpenGL to handle my 2D rendering. Will the openmoko hardware be robust enough to handle 2D rendering using the OpenGL libraries?? Or should I look into learning how to load and display bmps and polygons with GTK?? Oh - BTW, I know the other option is using SDL, but Im not particularly fluent in that either. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Anyway, isn't SDL built on top of OpenGL ? No. SDL is a layer that sticks between the driver and the programmer. OpenGL is in the driver/hardware(not sure which).

Actually there is something called OpenGL ES (for Embedded Systems) which might come in handy. How well would it run without hardware acceleration? I'd appreciate hardware/software specs of the graphics device... Florent ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
