you search the archives, you'll see there's also a video bandwidth
problem related to the present hardware that may/does impose
restrictions on live video rendering, etc. My understanding is that if
the internal video memory were used, there would be enough bandwidth
for acceptable performance, but the internal memory is not large enough
to hold the full 800x480 display. The compromise was using external
memory to the chip, but that memory is slower and could only do maybe
15fps. I'm pretty sure this is why we haven't seen an OpenGL stack yet,
and why we probably won't see one any time soon.
