Demo of MeeGo Handset UX running alongside OGLES2 "Coverflow" demo on OMAP4 Pandaboard

1-minute video at Flickr showing 3D hardware acceleration

Summary

The video shows the OGLES "Coverflow" demo from Imagination Technologies running on the SGX540 GPU which is part of the OMAP 4430 processor that powers the Pandaboard. Coverflow requires 3D hardware acceleration, so the video shows that the PVR closed-source drivers from Imagination and TI's open source Xorg shared-object libraries work with the MeeGo userland. Just to show that the platform really is MeeGo, I'm running the Handset UX's duihome alongside the graphics demo. OpenVG, the 2D hardware-accelerated graphics suite, also works fine on Panda-MeeGo.
