And that's what's odd. Why include 3D accelerators, but not provide a way to use them? That is, unless that is what Diablo has up its sleeve!
I believe it had something to do with licensing issues... there's a couple threads discussing it... We've also got hardware java bytecode processing, but there's no drivers for that either! I know that one's due to licensing.

But the reason we have them is because OMAP chips, unlike x86 desktop processors are bundled chips with everything integrated into the same chip. So functions are enabled and disabled through firmware, not hardware. It's a ******ed system, I know. I wish there was some way we could get drivers for the 3D systems and JavaVM.
