HW acceleration. Just been a while since any news, was wondering if anything had happened on it yet.
Well currently, Lenny is tuning the DRM portion of the kernel to get increased performance out of it. After this, once it is stable enough, it might be included in the normal BSP kernel. As for the HW acceleration itself, there is still no progress about the license issues.
Possibly once the DRM kernel is stable enough for daily usage, we would probably write up a Howto on how to install the drivers because we can't distribute
the drivers with the linux images.
Glad to hear its at least still a work in progress. Using the pine for work but im dying of boredom in the slow hours. Would love to get some basic video or game functionality for these slow days.

Id also be interested in this. even if it was in a private manner as stated above.
