    Poulsbo / GMA500 support

    Hi,

    We are in the process of developing a new HW platform with the GMA500 and the Atom processor. Until now everything is running as it should but we have encountered a problem with the graphix driver.

    I was working with moblin but I did not manage to install the GMA500 drivers for the graphics. I've found then on the internet that UNR had the solution for that.

    I installed now the UNR but I see that the graphics on the screen are not like they should. Do I need to do something special to have the GMA500 drivers?

    Also I need the resolution 800x480 and now I can only select 640x480.

    Can somebody help me with that?

    Regards

    Sorry for slow reply. But, I don't have good news for you. GMA500 is really sketchy at this point. Check out this blog for why/more info:
