I have been some further research on this and come accross the follow issue which Linus Torvalds found! Could this be related to this issue?

[UPDATE 2] Unfortunately, I spoke too soon and although I can get the drive mounted since running the udo rmmod uas command, as soon as you push a few GB's of data to the drive, it drops off the USB...

[UPDATE] Just noticed coping large files through rsync made the drive drop out and disappear again :( Interesting by copying the file through Gnome Shell, I do not get this problem!

This is what...

Please see below the errors I am getting

This thread relates to errors with USB drives dropping off from the USB bus.

My Hitachi Touro 2GB connected to either 12.04 or 12.10 just kept dropping out. I ran "sudo rmmod uas" which I thought...

Thanks for all the responses on Gnome 3. I am still using 12.10 but use it with the Gnome faillback and it seems "usable". From reading the posts above, it does seem this is the end of the life for...

That is interesting as I have always thought Fedora had improved the performance. This is worrying, it looks like this chipset may never work well with Gnome 3:( Is anyone away of any work going on...

My understanding is that Gnome 3 on Fedora works well with the GMA500 chipset. Does anyone know how they managed this and if these tweaks can be ported to Ubuntu 12.10

Yep, just installed Gnome Ubuntu 12.10 and it is still very slow. I just wish llvmpipe could be updated :(

For those that are testing 12.10, how is Gnome3 performing? I did have Gnome 3 working under 12.04 but it was very slow...then all of a sudden, it no longer worked and booted into Gnome 2 shell. ...

Hi,

I had Gnome 3 working on my Dell 1010 running 12.04 but now has stopped working, just goes into Gnome classic.

Anyone else running Gnome 3 on this chipset yet?

A question from a non developer. What is involved in getting this video driver to work flawlessly under Linux so it can run videos with hardware acceleration. For example, if we employed a...

Just a quick update to my post (please see below) getting 12.04 working on a Dell 1010 Mini. I adding this line to GRUB and it has now fixed the problem not bottom straight into the desktop. MANY...

I have a dell Mini 1010 and I have excatly the same issues as described below. The swapping of TTY1 is a pain. Installed Gnome Shell but it just goes logs into the old version of Gnome. Apart from...

Many thanks for the responses.....Like many of you, I am getting so frustrated with this chipset....all I want is a working Gnome 3 shell on Ubuntu capable of running video acceleration!

Thank God...

Is it looking like Gnome 3 will be working on this chipset with Ubuntu 12.04?

Regarding Gnome 3 support, do you think this will always be a problem or something that can be fixed?

bodji.zazen,

Have you tried Gnome 3 with this setup yet?

Yikes, it has been a while since I visited this thread, it is so long, I cannot seem to find the status on 11.10.

Can someone tell me if it is now working on 11.10 using Gnome 3 shell (not...

Can someone point me in the right direction where to find further updates on this and who are the developers?

Tista,

Many thanks for your response. Just given it a go and the laptop froze after about 5 minutes of playing the .vob file even using the cache parameter. Could there be a bug in the driver as...

I have now run sudo apt-get upgrade a few new drivers came down which resolved my mplayer shared library problem list above. However, I am still suffering from freezes when playing .vob files with...

Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Dell Mini 10, patched everything up and installed GMA 500 using the command -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install...

Is anyone else having intermittent freezes when playing videos? Its driving me mad as I am not sure what else to look at. Just to confirm, the whole computer locks up and the only way out is...

lucazade,

I have just removed the DRI line and rebooting and still have a display. Just watching a vob file now and see if that makes any difference to the freezing.
