Revision as of 08:36, 23 February 2010
The OMAP2420 used in N8x0 devices contain PowerVR MBX 3D accelerator, which is not used in official dirmware. Thanks to Nokia and TI engineers and Maemo community members we now have alpha-quality driver available. Currently it is not usable for anything except kernel hacking.
