Unless Nokia pulls an FremantleHE with existing, closed, not-up-to-snuff MBX drivers (which they have, but haven't released) to keep Fremantle about.

Then again, any FremantleHE could also use software rendering, if the actual necessary OpenGL stuff for the desktop environment is(/can be made) basic enough.
