Bug#533450: ITP: xserver-xorg-video-psb -- Xorg Graphics driver for Intel Poulsbo chipset (GMA 500)

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.

Kushal, I started with a Lenny install, and got it up-to-date. I then added an /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list which includes all of intrepid and intrepid's PPA repositories: --- deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main multiverse universe restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates main restricted universe multiverse (plus the deb-src entries, which are not needed) --- I then used apt-pinning (man apt_preferences for more info) by setting up my /etc/apt/preferences --- Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing Pin-Priority: 400 Package: * Pin: release a=intrepid Pin-Priority: 400 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable Pin-Priority: 300 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian Pin-Priority: -1 --- This makes apt prefer debian stable when it can, but will allow debian testing, ubuntu intrepid, and debian unstable if needed. Then I installed ubuntu's packages for the chipset: libgl1-mesa-dri-psb libdrm-poulsbo1 psb-firmware psb-modules xpsb-glx xserver-xorg-video-psb The big catch was that installing xserver-xorg-video-psb required installing all of xorg from the ubuntu repositories. Thus, I have a debian lenny system, ubuntu intrepid's xorg (and some libs), and ubuntu intrepid PPA's xorg-video-psb 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. Also, I advise using a tool like aptitude to line up package changes; using apt straight may be a bit tedious.

Hi Scott, Thank you for the valuable information. I tried searching for the ppa archive for Intrepid but was not able to find the driver package. Do you have a link from where you found that driver? So if I understand you correctly, you installed a base Debian Lenny system. And then you added the intrepid packages repo to your sources.list file and installed XOrg from intrepid? For example: # apt-get install xserver-xorg xorg Thank you. Kushal Koolwal I do blog at http://blogs.koolwal.net/ _ Lauren found her dream laptop.

As a (temporary) workaround, you can use the xorg packages out of Ubuntu's Intrepid release. They can be found in the "ppa" archive. With a bit of work, I have proper panel resolution and HDMI out working (no 3D at the moment). In order to do this, however, I need to have all of ubuntu's xorg installed on my otherwise-debian-stable system. I tried building some of these packages from source (I actually had to for the kernel module), but couldn't get a rebuilt xserver-xorg-video-psb package to work with Debian stable's Xorg. I also got nothing but lockups with Ubuntu Jaunty packages. I eventually gave up after hours of squinting at a widescreen 640x480 display, and thus I'm using ubuntu's Xorg. Needless to say, I'd love for one of the Xorg folks (or anyone who knows more about what they're doing) to step in and figure out how to at least get this stuff properly packaged.

Thanks Daniel! Sorry about the errors in the ITP (license, versions). I did an ITP for the first time and I wasn't quite sure how to find proper licenses and versions. Does it need to be corrected? If yes, then how? I apologize for the trouble and errors.

I originally just sent this to debian-devel since I didn't see the bug report on it, here are my comments on the bug report for posterity. I'll keep debian-devel on CC.

Is the driver in better shape than it was in January? http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/01/30/intel-gma-500-poulsbo-graphics-on-linux-a-precise-and-comprehensive-summary-as-to-why-youre-screwed/ Ubuntu even requested to have it removed from their archive because it was obsolete and broken: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-psb/0.2.1-1ubuntu3 I'm not sure if this is something that would be wanted in the archive unless support has improved (which is a legitimate possibility, given that Dell purports to support this chipset in the Mini 12).
