on N900 it was usable, under X11 like you say. I don't know the difference between
the machines relating to graphics driver, but I didn't use any opengl. also, same resolution
I think (800x480 or something like that).
I don't have a n810 to test on. The "patch" I was referring to is very simple, basically:
 1. one line to configure.ac to let cpu check pass
 2. empty implementation for atomic ops - haven't given this much testing, but it seemed to work. of course
  the right way would be to actually have an arm implmenetation, but I don't know enough arm
  assembler to write one, if you find someone to do this they could do better here :)
