Just a quick two cents...

I was looking around and doing a lot of research into this subject, and it appears that there are old linux PowerVR drivers....

From what I gather, it is an open source driver meant for the 2.4 kernel. It would take a bit of work to port to 2.6, but not a real problem.


The biggest problem I have is: Are they the RIGHT drivers? The copyright inside the source readme says 2003... so it can't be too old...


It's possible that these are the wrong drivers. If I understand things correctly, Kyro was their product before MBX.. So MBX was more of a rebranding than a complete different product? So these old drivers could be tweaked and updated?

Anyone want to correct me/support me/kick me out of the discussion?
