Get GMA500 (Poulsbo) working in Karmic with Jaunty backports..

[Belatra]

Finally I got it working on AspireOne AO751h ZA2 with fresh-installed UNR 9.10 RC.
First I installed the system from CD, then ran
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

After that I downloaded your script and tried to run it.
It looked like everything was good but after rebooting I got flashing tty1 login prompt.
I found that not all packages have been installed by the script. I did not investigate why, finished installation manually and got at least 2D working.
Great thanks to lukazade

Solved my problem, the multicolored screen crash was actually caused by the wireless. fixed the problem by replacing NM with WICD. Well finally a smooth running vaio p25g. Thank everyone who helped me. Also looks like this method does not work with the new kernel yet, so I guess I am sticking with beta for now.

My Vaio P11Z is running kernel 2.6.31-14 without problems. I think, that the automatic downloads made by the script don't work always. The script proceeds without the downloads.

2.6.31-14 works for me, i'll see the scripts as soon as possible.

I dunno how it happended, but this *exactly* solved also my problem (on 1101HA). Removing nm and installing wicd solved my issue of the screen going wild once in a while ... very often, indeed. Now, my system is rock-solid, even if I suspend and resume.

Spread the word! How did you solve it? And, what the hell has nm/wicd/wireless to do with X/screen/kernel?

Thanks,

Interesting post on moblinzone (owned by Intel) about GMA500:

I've fixed the installation scripts (both ppa and ftp based)

Install Ubuntu, reboot into recovery mode and use one of the following script:


1) PPA-based (UbuntuMobile & Milone):
Code:
wget http://gma500re.altervista.org/scripts/poulsbo_ppa.sh && sh ./poulsbo_ppa.sh

or

2) FTP-based (no ppa repositories):
Code:
wget http://gma500re.altervista.org/scripts/poulsbo.sh && sh ./poulsbo.sh


let me know if ok.
