Though I do wonder what these new tools for nvflash are.

Regardless, like all the existing MeeGo-on-ARM efforts they will probably get stuck in the whole "vendor doesn't make Xorg 1.9 compatible drivers" hole. At most they get a build for one specific version of Ubuntu and nothing else

I was wondering that as well. Information seems somewhat scarce, but hey, it's encouraging.

Perhaps it is time for a wrapper of sorts to use different versions of drivers in Xorg? Just thinking out loud. This may cost a bit of speed, but at least it would aid in compatibility where native drivers don't exist -- think: a one-to-one mapping of graphics calls, with a bit of filler code where legacy bits are missing.

I would have hoped that a single API for graphics calls would apply to a Xorg major version (I'm guessing this is not the case?). This seems to be a flaw in engineering of the platform.
