Yes SGX is a bottleneck currently for omap3 users. And I think RFBI is blocking n8x0 from moving to omapdrm and finally leaving drivers/video/fbdev/omap2 behind. With those blockers fixed, I'd also be happy to just get rid of drivers/video/fbdev/omap2 as there should be no reason to keep using it. Regards, Tony
