Yes, as I said, the OMAP2420 SoC does have a PowerVR (and a hardware video decoder), but since we're not using the built-in LCD controller, there are some hardware issues involved beyond just not having drivers. I believe Nokia has chosen not to release/port drivers because of the poor performance we will get out of 3d acceleration with a 3rd-party LCD controller. I don't particularly agree with this decision (any acceleration is better than none), but I can certainly imagine why they'd choose to go this route.
sorry i forgot to say- thats wut i meant (hi-res is dumb for Video only)
