Guide to Get the Best Performace from the GMA 500

[PilotPaul]

Laatest poulsbo-config works fine for me on 2GB Aspire One 751h. Suspend and Plymouth both working fine, and compositing works also. Only things left still not working for me are Xv and brightness control from the keyboard (works using toolbar applet) - otherwise I'm a happy bunny (until NN comes along at least )!

Nice job guys.

Thanks PilotPaul for report, i believe poulsbo-config is release candidate for inclusion.. we'll see next reports.

until NN we should be ok... come on Intel!

i was trying to figure out which is the issue with unity:
these are Hardware Requirements: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExper...reRequirements (look at opengl 1.4, we have 1.2)

attached there is my log with a backtrace, launching "unity -p"
i'll add this stuff to bug report.

Hi everybody!
I need help...
I followed this pocedure to enable compiz:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and add the following option:
Option "ExaNoComposite" "true"
* install this updated poulsbo-config package: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1338581/poul...004um3_all.deb
* install compiz

Now I have my 1101ha blocked on the splash screen (the one with Ubuntu and the dots below..
What should I do?

Ok, I got the graphic environment in graphic safe mode... But I am not sure on what I should do now...

thanks

are you referring to lucid i guess..
until splash screen X is not loaded so Exanocomposite doesn't make any differences, start without splash in grub and look at what is wrong.
btw i think your problem is not related with that instruction.

No, Maverick.
I have not used your fix repository. Maybe I should

I followed the instructions in poulsbo wiki page...

I followed the instructions in poulsbo wiki page...

yes you should use the fix reposiory for maverick
that package is only for lucid

Ok, How do I add the repository.. I remember this is somewhere in the previous post, but if you ca be so kind to indicate it....
Thanks a lot

Probably yes. I wanted to update those packages to the latest EMGD release and test them under maverick, but I haven't had the time yet. RL sucks sometimes.

I understand. Your doing a lot as it is.

this emgd is updated, haven't tried myself.

I'll try that one tonight and report back. Maybe someone else can benefit.

Try "vo=vaapi,x11," and don't forget the final ","

I've tried that, but it still gives the same error. Its really strange how mplayer works but an interface does not. Actually I don't have to use gnome-mplayer (though it would be nice if I could), could try another if anyone has other interfaces working. I also tried smplayer. but that gave a black screen.
