I've heard a lot of people say this. Some talk like it's the holy grail.

It's was my understanding that accelerated video drivers for powervr MBX were developed and licensed in linux for 2.4 kernels, and that aside from being closed source, the code is broken in 2.6. (This may have changed by now.) I't be great if Nokia licensed it anyway and updated it for Maemo. But I don't know how much of a performance boost it'll give. Omap 2420 was designed for smaller screens.

Anyway, it won't be open sourced any time soon. An open linux driver would allow reverse engineering on other platforms and kill PowerVR's licensing model. Either Nokia buys it for us, or they don't...

cheers,
