I'd certainly be interested in attempting to add OpenGL support to the

glamo driver if documentation were to become available, but I'm hesitant

to put myself forward for anything that would require Openmoko Inc. to

go out of their way by jumping through administrative loop holes to give

access to the NDA'd documentation, as I'm unlikely to actually succeed

(I have some experience of driver development, and experience of OpenGL

from a high level point of view, but no actual experience of graphics

driver development).
So I think a freely available clean room rewrite of the documentation

would be very helpful, as there may well be others in a similar

position, people willing to take a look at the problem, but not

confident enough to cause OpenMoko Inc. extra hassle/work for what may

result in nothing.
Cheers,

  Mike.
