Open Source and PowerVR

[hede]

Hi,
as far as I see the Pandora is described to be fully open sourced. But I only heard of some closed source binary driver for the PowerVR and Pandora will run a 2.6 Kernel while the only driver I can find is for 2.4 only.

What kind of driver will be used for the PowerVR? Is there some driver for recent Kernel 2.6? Is it open sourced or will there be some kind of a closed source binary module with all of its drawbacks like e.g. not having a driver for newer kernels some day in the future?

OT: This forums server time is a little futured ;-)

Framebuffer driver is completely open source.
I've heard that OpenGL ES -enabled driver will be open source kernel module + binary blob. [ like many Xorg OpenGL drivers... ]
