Hi! We are using (patched) Maemo and for OpenGL ES support we need SGX
PVR graphics kernel driver which depends on omapfb :-( Because Maemo
needs OpenGL ES we needs omapfb driver. Kernel part of SGX PVR driver is
open source (GPL) but there is no manpower to port it to omapdrm...

So if we want to use (patched) Maemo (which I really want) we need to
stay on omapfb for now...

And there are no full open source drivers for SGX PVR graphic chip which
would work on TI omap3 Nokia N900 device...
