Javqui is not referring to the GPU but the VPU (Video). CedarX. MPEG-1/2, H.264, DivX, etc. Besides the opened part from PowerVR is sadly one of their publication stunts. http://libv.livejournal.com/. And when the PR department gets confronted with their own BS, they give you the silence treatment The only one thing I can say is PowerVR is poison. They don't even bow to Intel, Search for Poulsbo. So open GPU Drivers for A80, is not going to happen. It didn't happen for Intel Atom, it didn't happen when the FSF made it a priority project. Besides the A80 will not exist long enough. If Allwinner is interested in FOSS gpu drivers, which they should be, they'd better support the Lima, Etnaviv, etc. projects. P.S. Take a look at EOMA-68 and Luck Leighton. He's pretty far along with a modular tablet including an A20 CPU. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
