That link above has the Mali GPU drivers. Be more specific please.
Exactly how I felt about the N810 drivers.
http://www.imgtec.com/
to see what's what. Their SDK for the n900 is a gold mine for OpenGL ES developers, but you'll have to sign the license agreement of course.

If not accepted anywhere else, why is it accepted here?
The sad thing about the n8x0s is that Apple (iPhone 2G and 3G, iPod touch 1st and 2nd gen) and others had SDKs and drivers for the same GPUs.

It was a project restricted via microeconomics; thus it was never meant to sell in huge numbers and they're puffing up their chest because they were able to sell an FOSS project that wasn't entirely FOSS and did so with little to no marketing and it created a niche market that kept folks tied to a forum, a set of repositories and justified some purchases (Qt for instance)... all for the lulz it seems.

* Disclaimer: But that does not mean that there will support, market, or open up all of the UI, drivers... important things to developers that consider it important everywhere else but on Maemo.
And absolutely no hot pants or kaiju cosplay on Wednesdays.

n9 had bigger chances if it wasn't for the internal boycott its getting.
wp7 doent look like its going to be a success either. so i expect nokia to do android devices and try to revive something in end 2012
