 OMAP2420 is supposed to have 2D/3D accelerator on chip. Is it disabled and
 can't be used at all (using Epson chip instead for better compatibility with
 existing software developed for N770)?

The X server now provides the standard Xv (X Video) extension, so just
use that instead, and things get a whole lot less complicated.  It's not
as wildly quick as it should be at the moment, but that's being actively
worked on.

Cheers,

Not that we're going to get one word out of a @nokia.com address for the
time being...but they'd better not stop releasing FW updates and
developing for the 770. Maemo isn't open enough for the community to
maintain the software for the 770.

I wish they'd have gotten a keyboard into this bad boy...one of the
reasons I like my Zaurus a bit better (not to mention the 400MHz ARM
processor). Not that I'll be buying one anytime soon...not only can I
not really afford it but even me, the Linux gadget whore, cannot justify
such an expense when I already have a 770...this update isn't worth $400
to me.

An omap 24xx at 320 MHz is insanely faster as any xscale, thanks to it's vfp,

Hello,


An omap 24xx at 320 MHz is insanely faster as any xscale, thanks to it's vfp, 
dsp, iva
and  unaligned access options.

Well since the speed experience isn't that great with a 770 I hope the
N800 will do way better. Not to talk about reboots and hangs.
I really like my 770 however for browsing its too slow for my taste,
for every new page loaded the user has to wait several seconds which
is basically ok, but when it comes to heavy ajax like gmail its ...
well simply slow ;-)

Good luck Nokia, lg Clemens

Ok. Let's fun begin.

It looks like OMAP2420 only. As per the development track on
linux.omap.com kernel mailing list the product may _NOT_ be using the
IVA1.0 processor. Basically OMAP2420 from the multimedia point of view
is a MPEG4 device. I hope you know that Nokia N93 also uses the
OMAP2420 processor doing cool mpeg4 encode at VGA 30fps, but that's on
IVA1.0 not on ARM. So, if N800 is not using IVA, then don't expect
good multimedia experience like N93.

BTW, I am slowly and steadily working on the IVA driver components,
but we don't see whole lot of drivers on that right now.

Also the following line from dmesg log caugth my eye on #maemo irc channel:
[8044.496856] omapfb omapfb: s1d1374x: setting update mode to disabled

Does N800 also use Epson video chip just like N770? Could it be be some
upgraded version? Something like S1D13745 chip with hardware scaling support:
http://www.erd.epson.com/index.php?option=com_docmantask=cat_viewgid=38Itemid=40

OMAP2420 is supposed to have 2D/3D accelerator on chip. Is it disabled and
can't be used at all (using Epson chip instead for better compatibility with
existing software developed for N770)?

Also I wonder about DSP clock frequency for both N770 and N800. ARM core is
clocked at 250MHz in N770 and 330MHZ in N800. TI docs specify 220MHz ARM core
and 220MHz DSP core in OMAP1710, while OMAP2420 is specified to have 330MHz
for ARM core and 220MHz for DSP. Was Nokia 770 clocked at 250/250 or 250/220?
Is the clock frequency for N800 equal to standard 330/220?

As ARM core is supposed to have higher clock frequency than DSP and it
contains additional useful SIMD instructions, is it a better choice than DSP
for multimedia now (pretending that IVA does not exist)?
