I have been running squeeze on the ao751h (not an eeepc, but holds a GMA500), and I believe this can be done with some installer black magic: 1. latest grub2 from sid includes 915resolution patch for the GMA500. With this approach we can work at full screen resolution (1366x768 in my case), as long as grub-pc is used; 2. configure a kernel framebuffer with uvesa (BTW, this gives a *beautiful* console); 3. drive X with fbdev. I have been running with this setup for some weeks now, and It Works For Me. I believe this is approach is feasible for squeeze and it would solve a lot of GMA500 problems, and does not involve anything but installer black magic.
