And the OpenPandora is similar to the Nokia N900 (sgx121). If you have
the userspace sgx driver that still supports X, you might be able to get
accelerated 3D on X if you use the maemo leste ddx and userspace driver.

(armhf known to work on n900, armel not)

I don't know how well older userspace works with the latest kernel
interface, though.

Maybe you can compare with what we have here:
