Pixels should not be a big issue if they are using hardware scaling.

I also noted that there was an update for bounce, maybe that will improve perfomance.
I think itīs shown in the second vid.

I would hope that with only one or two other windows open, then running the game everything would then be fine.

Somehow, I do not think you are so assertive in person, but I may be wrong.
Spent too many years in the Marines dealing with your type of attitude. Of course there, it is was easier to deal with
Update:
I see, I did word that ***** backwards. Common sense is scaling does nothing if already at native res- I was referring that if the actual game was a lower res and was scaled to fill screen, hardware scaling would do the grunt work- unless executing routines through software. Hence my guess it was not at native res.
I am behind anyways, since my geek days were with the Amiga.
I would apologize but you already called me a dumbass..... You aren't like the comic book store owner in The Simpsons are you?

Stuttering and tearing on Linux desktop or game has different reason...

I did not catch the amount of apps open in the background (kids yelling in background when I was watching the vids).
This device would be perfect if it had host USB and a d-pad. Still blows anything else away. Unlike Android, Maemo should be far more efficient in executing apps.
Does anyone know if media (music & vids) placed on the micro-sd card will be integrated with the internal storage as one media directory?

I guess hogboy was correct- I am a dumbass, because I did not notice it was on an external display. Then again I was a little sidetracked (kids do that).
Still do not like the attitude, but he ultimately was correct- though for an unintended reason.
If games will be stuttering using hi res, scale it down- just like current Linux and PC games can in options. Or do not map any of the game with native res and allow the hardware scaling to do the work. Should be smooth as butter then
My guess is the N900 will rock with game smoothness- just would prefer to see a demo to show this. If I were Nokia marketing I would consider this. First impressions will kill ya!
