No, the powervr kernel driver needs some of the userspace-side libraries to actually do anything afaict.
Although I've got the lib to load with nothing other than a kernel tainting warning, it doesn't produce the proc entries it ought to, and I can't work out why it's still loaded if it hasn't been able to do that (i.e. that would presumably be an error which should unload the module).
I need to do some more digging.

so we will probably not see opengl accelerated graphics on n800/n810. Well, I hope Nokia seriously includes such capability with their next IT...

Never say never, I'll get back to looking at the driver once I've caught up on the post Christmas rush of things to do now I'm back at work... 
I need to trace the execution of the driver to see if I can work out what's stopping it from producing the proc entries.
If anyone else fancies having a go then let me know.

So can you tell for sure whether PoverVR part of the ARM cpu is there ? Or whether Nokia used a version or the processor without that functionality ?

Wow... any chance the builds done by this guy will work with that driver?

He's not using the PowerVR chip, but software rendering.

Yeah Nokia research lab showing off what looks like accelerated OpenGL ES at 2:06 and 2:09-2:13 in this video.

(p.s. Don't post the email addy here cause spamcrawlers might find it)
(edit) Note that the video shows a higher resolution on the projector than on the N810, so they may be rendering the projected video on a PC/laptop. Also note that the GL apps on the N810 are only isplaying a few polygons - i.e. the whale is displayed but no sharks, and there is only one building showin on the rotating green rectangle at 2:09
