Re: [Gnewsense-dev] gNewSense-MIPS, Yeelong and SiliconMotion video driver

[zhangfx]

What do you need exactly? A GPLed silicon motion driver? An accelerated 
smi driver?

For GPL issue, I think SMI/lemote has given the permission. For 
acceleration, we have old working version. Recently we will also look at 
porting to new version.
