And Meego n900 kernel should have all drivers included, see https://meego.gitorious.org/meego-de...on/n900_kernel
I think this would be pretty cool. As more features are now in mainline it *should* make maintaining the kernel a little easier for all of you. I know later kernels have better cgroup support (swappiness for example), which may help bring a little boost in performance.

What would the updated drivers bring to freemangordon's 720p work?
Would there be any issue/improvement with the sgx drivers?
Would it bring a better solution to battery module issues?
Would it require/benefit from updated libraries and if so how much?

Edit: With regards to libraries I'm thinking about BlueZ and the recent bluetooth changes. I currently can't connect a kernel 3.1 netbook to my N900 because of some chages that were made in a recent kernel version.
