Canonical should be looking out for their Users! and the Linux Foundation should too! I did read something that In November 2009, the Linux Foundation released the details of a new, rewritten Linux driver that would support this chipset and Intel's other upcoming chipsets. The Direct Rendering Manager and X.org parts would be free software, but the 3D component (using Gallium3D) will still be proprietary. and more news from Phoronix about this from November 2009 can be found here, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=NzY2Mg But as you know, there's NOTHING that's been done. I know I had a very ignorant reply back from Intel about the GMA500 driver, saying that it's down to the Distrobution to fix the problem. Maybe we (all GMA500 users) should all send a message to Intel to get them to do something. -- MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You'll be lucky, it doesn't look like Canonical are going to support the GMA500 in future releases of Ubuntu! It's quite upsetting as there are Netbook users like us that want to use Ubuntu, especially the latest version upon release, and we can't! What I'd like to know is how Jolicloud have managed to do it, and with full video accelleration, and Canonical can't. Please Canonical get a GMA500 driver working in 10.04, we want to stick with Ubuntu as it's the Operating System of choice, and Intel Embedded Devices are not going away!!! -- MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

m0dcm, you act as though this is Canonical's problem but it isn't. It takes a lot of luck, time, and work to reverse engineer drivers when you don't have any cooperation from the ones that built the hardware. The ones who built the hardware haven't bothered to release newer drivers that work on the video stack used in Lucid. Maybe they will in a few months as the Linux kernel 2.6.32 happens to be an important release. My advice is to reinstall Karmic as many have had luck with getting the drivers working there, or if you like Jolicloud, you can use that (Jolicloud is built on Karmic any way; that's why it works, it's not Canonical being lazy or incompetent or malicious). -- MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I honestly don't know why Ubuntu MOTU wouldn't include something, from a previous release, that works in the current release.

@jimpop, this is not a place to vent your frustration. Would we have received a suitable driver for the current kernels, we'd have uploaded it in the ~ubuntu-mobile PPA or even to Ubuntu as we did for the previous versions. Intel has top quality drivers for its other chipsets, but not for Poulsbo due to a complex IP issues. This is not in our control to fix for them, and we don't have the resources to reverse engineer or forward port the existing kernel bits (these were even rejected from staging in the upstream linux kernel). If you're aware of a forward ported or reverse engineered driver which we could include, then this is the right place to mention it. I think it's too late for the 9.10 release, but it could be prepared in a PPA or considered for 10.04. (Note that the recipes in this bug only apply to the xorg video driver but don't cover the kernel counterparts which are needed for psb-drm and hence 2D and 3D acceleration.) -- MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have zero lags. The psb driver (sans the packaging/distribution mess) works perfectly. I don't see any need for Intel to formally support the psb driver on Karmic as long as they just support the driver in general. Did Atheros support the Hardy wireless driver of years past? This whole psb mess has given me a bad feeling about Ubuntu. Again, the driver works, it's the packaging/distribution/politics that suck. Shame on Ubuntu if they don't support this in Karmic as the Poulsbo chipset is probably the most important thing for Ubuntu to pay attention to. There are now hundreds of thousands of inexpensive (cheaper than an iPhone!) netbooks hitting the market with the Poulsbo chipset. Most of those are going to go to college, and other, students who will be eager to try *any* Linux distro on them.

[Bug 330906] Re: MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04)
For Karmic (9.10) here is what I had to do (from http://mail.ale.org/pipermail/ale/2009-October/113618.html) The solution is to manually d/l and install this package: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver- xorg-video-psb/xserver-xorg-video-psb_0.31.0-0ubuntu1~904um1_i386.deb then add this software source: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucazade/gma500/ubuntu karmic main and then add Lucazade's key: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6699F3D9 then apt-get update apt-get install psb-firmware psb-kernel-headers psb-kernel-source xpsb-glx libdrm-poulsbo1 poulsbo-config and then set your xorg.conf to this: --- Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Option IgnoreACPI Option AccelMethod exa Option MigrationHeuristic greedy Option NoDDC Driver psb EndSection Section DRI Mode0666 EndSection Section Monitor Identifier Configured Monitor EndSection Section Screen Identifier Default Screen Monitor Configured Monitor Device Configured Video Device EndSection #Added for mouse pad Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver synaptics Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/input/mouse0 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 Option CorePointer Option HorizEdgeScroll 1 EndSection --- Now if you look at the launchpad page for the software source (https://launchpad.net/~lucazade/+archive/gma500) you will see that the required xserver-xorg-video-psb package failed to build 3 weeks ago. Dig around a bit and you will see that the build error is a very minor unable to rm -f a *directory* which is why the needed package isn't in the gma550 PPA. sigh -Jim P. -- MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Christian, the wiki has been edited/added with the info gathered by the participants in that thread, so it is up to date.

I am experiencing the same problem on Karmic, with an eeepc 1101ha. I am also experiencing a very slow video performance. It was unusable around 15 august, but then an update made it a little bit more usable, but i can't for example render a video properly. I read the entire discussion about resolution, but I think the performance is related to that also, am I wrong? What I get from this is that if Intel does not release the drivers in a proper way, we won't have any better support for this graphics card? -- MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
