The point is that we _really_ need to have all of our member hardware fully enabled. For all of our evaluation builds. This is a huge pain point for the graphics working group. That's why it is in the report. Not everyone involved with Unity/Nux/Compiz has a working pandaboard. Not everyone working on other projects has a working pandaboard. For some projects (e.g., cairo-gles), OMAP4 doesn't support all of the functionality involved, so even a working pandaboard is of limited use. > > I also don't quite understand why the updated Unity/Nux packages > wouldn't Just Work if installed on Natty -- is the issue that they > require updated X11 and Mesa? I believe that some of the plugin-related interfaces are different and mixing and matching isn't possible (Travis?). cheers, Jesse > -- > Christian Robottom Reis, Engineering VP > Brazil (GMT-3) | [+55] 16 9112 6430 | [+1] 612 216 4935 > Linaro.org: Open Source Software for ARM SoCs > > _______________________________________________ > linaro-dev mailing list > linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org > http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev > _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
