CPU == ARM
GPU == OMAP[34] or Tegra2

Ubuntu/ARM + graphics extras ..

Yup, ARM/Mali400 or better is not supported by ARM on GNU/Linux.
And lately open source folks even started to reverse engineer the
binary blob w/ Linaro involved (ARM is a member .. duh).

Quite an odd .. very odd situation here I would say,
probably due to weirdo politics and some lack of commitment.

Well, it's not the end of all days, so I hope ARM will
either support GNU/Linux w/ a proper binary blob (like NV/AMD/Ti/..),
or maybe even open up the programming specs.

Cheers, Sven
