Bug#533450: Some success
I have got X working now, but only by force-overwriting files in the libdrm2 package and deleting a libdrm.so.2.4*-file by hand, adding a symlink in /lib/ to the libdrm from the libdrm-poulsbo1 package. So I spend a good chunk of my weekend getting up Xorg driver running. I was able to compile the packages and install them on my Debian unstable (2.6.30-1-686) system after following Adam's instructions (thanks). Now upon rebooting, the psb framebuffer driver kicks in and then X server tries to start but fails with the following error messages: debian:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep (EE) (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (EE) PSB(0): the stolenBase is:0x1f80 (EE) PSB(0): screnIndex is:0;fbPhys is:0x1f80; fbsize is:0x007df000 (EE) PSB(0): Could not find a valid initial configuration for this screen.

The problem is that X isn't finding the LCD-panel, I think. Putting Option IgnoreACPIyes in my configuration helped. (I think I found that solution by searching via Google.)

Bug#533450: Some success
Hi Adam, Last few days I have been trying to get the XOrg psb driver working on Lenny based on [1]. I had a partial success with it - I got the kernel drm stuff working (psb.ko and drm.ko) and I get a psb framebuffer console during the boot. However when my X server starts I get the following message: xf86MapVidMem: Could not mmap framebuffer (0×, 0xdfe8) (Cannot allocate memory) In case if you want to try the approach in [1], I can email you my steps. I think I am pretty close to get it working but I would still like to try your approach. You mentioned that you were able to get the packages compiled from PPA Jaunty source on your Debian unstable without pulling the entire Xorg from Ubuntu? Do you mind giving summary of your steps as to how you did it? I tried to build the xserver-xorg-video-psb package but I get packages dependency error as some of the packages that are require are not in unstable: *** checking for XORG... configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server= 1.0.99.901 xproto fontsproto xf86dgaproto xineramaproto randrproto renderproto videoproto xf86miscproto xextproto) were not met: No package 'xf86dgaproto' found No package 'xineramaproto' found No package 'xf86miscproto' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. *** How did you get past this error? Did you end up downloading the missing packages from Ubuntu? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and detailed steps, Most of the needed packages seem to be easy enough to get moves over to debian, but what we really seem to need is xserver-xorg-video-psb to be built against debian's xorg. Yes, it seems that if I try to install Xorg from Lenny it, it tries to remove the psb packages and vice versa. I don't know enough about Xorg system, but I am ready to spare some time to get the psb packages working in Debian. If there is some sort of similar example from the past on how to port packages from Ubuntu to Debian, I can give it a shot.

You mentioned that you were able to get the packages compiled from PPA Jaunty source on your Debian unstable without pulling the entire Xorg from Ubuntu? Yes. Do you mind giving summary of your steps as to how you did it? Put the deb-src line from the Ubuntu Mobile Team PPA page into /etc/apt/sources.list and then download the sources and build the packages. A number of adjustments need to be made for the packages to build on Debian unstable, of course. I have got X working now, but only by force-overwriting files in the libdrm2 package and deleting a libdrm.so.2.4*-file by hand, adding a symlink in /lib/ to the libdrm from the libdrm-poulsbo1 package. You can see the changes I had to make in this git-repository: * http://koldfront.dk/gitweb?p=psb;a=summary I simply started with the Ubuntu Mobile Team PPA packages for Jaunty and modified them until I could build on Debian unstable. Missing still is: * Making libdrm-poulsbo1 play nice with libdrm2 (probably need to do something similar to what the libdrm-intel1 package does?) [libdrm-poulsbo]. * Find out what the correct packages to depend on instead of linux-headers-generic and linux-generic are [psb-kernel-source]. * Check that the euid to loginuid change is correct [psb-kernel-source]. * Check how the I2C_HW_B_INTELFB define should be handled [psb-kernel-source]. The only problem I have currently with functionality is that the Synaptics touchpad on my Acer Aspire One 751H doesn't work, so I have to attach a mouse.
