As you are bringing this up, I have a couple of questions:
* I would like to build this kernel and give it a try, but could not clone the repo. Do I need to register to clone it?
* in the jessie setup with the 3.12 kernel, I have horrible battery life. Is there a kernel config or patchset that may improve this matter?

Regarding the SGX drivers, it would be great if we could build weston on the N900, and maybe try maynard. With the right drivers this should yield good performance. However, I must say that I lack knowledge in this respect. So here goes the question: with the driver setup we have at hand, is it feasible to get weston to run?

In http://www.collabora.com/projects/graphics/ there is even mention of it running on powervr.
