I have spent some times on trying out the rendering script with Android-x86 2.0 on my EeePC 1000HE. It is a nice feature. And it makes the graphic programming in the Android much simpler.
I have tried out all three samples, it seems that only the Film works ok (it is slow since we don't have the libhgl for android-x86 2.0 yet). The graphic effect is very impressive. I will try to enable it as a pre-installed application in our next build so that people can get some ideas.

We are almost there
We are almost there to release a new test build (well, it could be a stable release). At the moment, only the camcorder still has problem. We have cleaned up the rest items on the todo list. We are planning to make a new release as soon as the camcorder get fixed.
So after this release, what is next? Here is the part of new todo list:
1. performance tuning. I'm seeing the bad graphic performance on the Eclair. It may be caused by the missing libhgl. But it worth to investigate.
2. porting libhgl
3. multi-head support
You can propose new items if you have any.
