Neat; the drivers are one part Nokia IP and another part ???'s IP right? that's the holdup at this point?

As soon as Mer gets to that livable point (for me), my N800 might get a new home with a few folks that have need of open devices in my circles.

Is there an estimation on when you'll get the drivers, or an estimated release for 0.17?

Nice! A Fully functional Mer with the GL drivers on my N800 would satisfy my 'Tablet running Maemo 5 with 4.1" screen' craving. The N900 is very nice as a phone, but I still like the screen real estate of the N800.
ARJWright - there is no hold up anymore, TI has said they will release the drivers shortly.

The GL drivers will support 800x480?

Sorry, the drivers probably support 800x480, but the 3d accelerator can not render to the LCD frame buffer directly because it's an off chip controller, to my knowledge, thus limiting the frame rate. I thought this was the reason that Nokia didn't support the 3d hardware from the start on the N8x0 platform.

I think the reason it wasn't supported to begin with was more to do with the buginess of the driver, or at least that's what I heard...

I think both Nokia and TI people have said that the original driver wasn't GPL compliant so it couldn't be distributed.

.. running on N810. Bit slow, but should fly with GLES drivers.
As you go on to other communities, remember to build them around politeness, respect, trust and humility. Be wary of poisonous people and deal with them before they end up killing your community.. Seen it happen to too many IRC channels, forums, open source projects.
