Certainly, I need to find a Tab Android image and take a look at the SGX kernel module and see what it does, and see if I could get it to work with the Pandaboard userspace libraries.

The kernel module itself is quite simple, it's generally just a gateway to the PowerVR hardware which is then controlled by commands from the userspace libraries.

Being relatively simple, it would probably be possible to adapt the Pandaboard kernel module source (and then by definition, hopefully, the complex and no-way-it-will-be-opened user space libraries should work with it as the chipset is the same).

It would, however, be all round easier if Samsung would just release a set of user space binaries (source is realistically too much to hope for) and source for the kernel module so that we can move on and be able to use the hardware.

I've emailed them to ask if they would be willing to do this to get Meego running on the Tab, I'll let you know how I get on.
