Which one does N900 uses? OMAP2 or OMAP3?

As I know, N900 uses a OMAP3 processor. But when I try to find the code of N900 display part, I went into below path and found only two directories related with omap, one is omap, another one is omap2. And in fact this omap2 directory contains the N900 display driver code. Why it is not omap3?

Code:

kernel-2.6.28/drivers/video

And from the link below we can confirm that N900 display's code is really put in omap2 directory.

It is an OMAP3 the tech specs aren't exactly hard to come by. Don't get fooled by driver naming. They share the same architecture in those cases.

Thank you! I found a good method, it is to to check '.config' file to see whether the corresponding setting is selected or not.
