Nice that you mention the present state of maemo. N900 has closed source 2D/3D drivers, so you can't even get accelerated 2D without using binary blobs. I am not an oss fanatic, but it hinders flexibility. You are forced to use this or that patched kernel, this or that version of xorg and so on. Of course, for now who cares about running on linux-2.6.27 or 2.6.32, but I for example only wait till the day when glibc drops support for 2.6.16 running on my nokia 770. - Clemens _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
