yeah both the blue and the red are fairly good looking, my only wish is the shoulder buttons and the nub sticks would be black in colo(u)r to add good contrast.Actually, all three of those colors ain't half bad.

I think that's the grey one. ED reported when he got it that it was lighter than he was expecting. Not sure if he's ordered tests in a darker grey or not.Wasn't there supposed to be a black (or near black) one too?
If you want a colored case, buy one color Pyra and one of the announced black cases, then replace the nubs, shoulder buttons, and the inside of the lid with their black counterparts. That should solve/mitigate that "toy" impression. Should theoretically also improve vibrancy and readability of the screen, though with that small of a bezel possibly only unnoticably so.I really hope a decent and affordable paint will be found. To me all those units look like cheap brittle toys.
Well they won't be painted like the Pandora was. The plastic itself will be the colo(u)r.I really hope a decent and affordable paint will be found. To me all those units look like cheap brittle toys.
They look way better in this picture.View attachment 28931
family picture :-D

Yes, I know. I phrased that poorly, but I am not entirely clear about how the process of creating differently coloured plastics works. So for the lack of a better term I just used "paint". Not entirely sure what the proper term should be.Well they won't be painted like the Pandora was. The plastic itself will be the colo(u)r.
https://github.com/mvduin/linux/commits/patch/tiler-fbdev2I would like to examine the TILER code. I'm not a programmer, really, but I like looking at code to see if I can figure out how it works.
They're mostly unrelated.So the TILER is fixed now but does that mean hardware/3d acceleration is also sorted? Did I miss news about that?
So I don't know about x86, but on the ARM SoCs I'm familiar with you're required to raise the voltage before increasing the clock and decrease the clock before you can lower the voltage. Clocking is definitely also a major power drain, but there's already extensive clock gating all over the place usually, and lowering the clock speed by itself obviously won't help if you still want to do the same stuff (hence just have less idle time)... unless it lets you lower voltage.Changing the clock has hardly any influence, it's the voltage that matters.
It's been working for 17 hours already! Where have you been! ;-)3 of the 6 haven't got the SSD in there, so we need the TILER setup to be fully working.
I like the grey buttons against the red.
