- User Space driver (PVR545): Closed-source user space 2D/3D and media libraries. The user-space binaries can be distributed only as part of a pre-integrated O/S image. The sources will not be available for distribution or re-distribution.

Important Notes
Graphics performance, as measured by the graphics section of the Phoronix test suite (http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/), is still being improved. Also, running the 3DMark®Mobile benchmark test (http://www.rightware.com/en/Benchmarking+Software) will cause a crash.
SW Video codec support in this release is for Ogg format only. Customers needing hardware acceleration for video decoding of other formats will need to license codecs from a 3rd party, such as Fluendo (https://fluendo.com/en/).
An open source SW flash decoder is included in this build. An evaluation version of a HW accelerated flash decoder is available from Intel at: https://registrationcenter.intel.com/RegCenter/ComForm.aspx?ProductID=1618.
Be sure to select the “Flash_10.2_CDT” download for the MeeGo RPM, and follow the instructions in the release notes to install it.
