Experimental graphics drivers speed up MeeGo UI on N900
Thomas Perl continues his MeeGo explorations with an experimental graphics driver (from Carsten Munk) for the N900 and the latest Handset UX release: I've had the chance to play around a bit more with the MeeGo Handset UX on the N900 yesterday (1.1.80.0.20101001.1). Carsten provided experimental graphics drivers, which still crash at a few points, but for the first time provide acceptable performance in the UI. I also decided to build the gPodder MeeGo Touch Prototype UI against libmeegotouch. Unfortunately, there's no SDK yet, so I had to use zypper on the device (via SSH) to install libmeegotouch-devel, make and gcc-c++ and then take a long coffee break after entering qmake ; make. As it's using plain Qt, the TRG binary built from the Fremantle SDK worked fine on the device. Work is still ongoing to get MeeGo running on the N900 at an acceptable usability level.
