Public bug reported: This is a bug report against the generic kernel , i386
As you may know, support for the GMA500 has been under rapid development and there is a psb_gfx staging driver. You have been kind enough to enable this driver in the kernel, but it conflicts with the gma500 stub driver. See: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/configs/natty/i386-config.flavour.generic http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/configs/oneiric/i386-config.flavour.generic The conflict is with the "polusbo" kernel module CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO=m This needs to change to CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO=n Once you make that change, the psb_gfx module will work out of the box on GMA500 cards with native resolution. The driver only has 2d , and there are other options post install, but it is better then having X fail on the live CD. If you have the hardware, you can see for yourself. Boot the Precise live CD -> X will faiil switch to a console (ctrl-alt-f2) , become root rmmod poulsbo modprobe psb_gfx Then simply startx Once you make this config change, you will be the first distro to have support for the gma500 "out of the box" ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: gma500 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899244 Title: GMA500 psb_gfx To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/899244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
