<PRE>Quoting Gordan Bobic &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">gordan at bobich.net</A>&gt;:
&gt;<i>  Unfortunately there is no way I could make it, but on the subject of 3D
</I>&gt;<i>  support on ARM, Luke recently mentioned something that initially seemed
</I>&gt;<i>  outlandish but upon closer examination doesn't seem like a bad idea. As
</I>&gt;<i>  we all know, the state of openness of specifications of commonly used
</I>&gt;<i>  ARM 3D GPUs is at best dire. What has been proposed is a bit radical,
</I>&gt;<i>  but it doesn't actually seem that implausible. Specifically, combining
</I>&gt;<i>  Open Graphics Project (<A HREF="http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php">http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php</A>) and
</I>&gt;<i>  the xilinx zynq-7000 or similar (dual core Cortex A9 + FPGA). The idea
</I>&gt;<i>  is to have an OGP GPU in firmware in FPGA. In terms of the power budget,
</I>&gt;<i>  it seems to work relatively sanely considering what it is, and it is as
</I>&gt;<i>  ideal as it gets as far as openness and flexibility goes.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>  I just thought it's worthy of a mention.
</I>
It does seem outlandish, but it is kind of cool. Is it going to give  
enough 3d speed? The next gen tegra is supposed to have a 24 core GPU.

It is probably more sane then my idea of just having a test suite from  
digital video out -&gt; digital video receiver/capture card to get known  
test results. Then you could set up a hinted genetic algorithm based  
on a comparison. It would only work with digital video signals though.
