Guide to Get the Best Performace from the GMA 500

[jbernardo]

Forget the fix ppa, it is no longer maintained. The "regular" gma500 ppa should get you going, if not, please ask us and open bugs as needed!

Thanks luca.

But i didn't install the poulsbo driver at this time.
Just a blank ubuntu installation and upgrade to the kernel 2.6.35.

I try to solve the problem by myself yesterday and read a lot of websites I think the problem is TRIM support in the kernel.
In the Dell Mini 10 is a PATA to SATA brigde.
And if this bridge get a TRIM signal, the SSD disappeare.
I also have trouble to install Windows 7 because of TRIM command.

Is there a possible way to deactivated TRIM within the new kernel?

Thanks a lot for help.

Ok thanks for reporting.
Have you tried compiz workaround for Unity? (exanocomposite in xorg.conf)
If possible open a bug here and attach logs.

I tried, still the same.(I supposed you just wanted me to modify xorg.conf, not running compiz in the Unity session, am I right?)
Just one question about the logs please. If I log out of the desktop session then log in using Unity and then back to normal again, does Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old contain the info needed? Or should I post both? Sorry but I have no idea..

PS. Just found out that the 99video-workaround for suspend, doesn't work in Maverick..

Yes, I meant only adding that option to xorg.
Post both logs, if you have an ssh connection get log during the session.

the 99-video workaround works for me in maverick (acer751h)

When will the RT-kernel fix going to be on mainline packages? Tried it today and it didn't work yet.

As soon as lucazade has the time to push his changes to the "mailine" (gma500ppa) repository, and I (or another of us) has the time to check if it doesn't break anything and pushes it.

Translated - as soon as we can...

... if you have an ssh connection get log during the session.

If you have the time could you explain this a bit? Or provide a relative link?

Strange, reinstalled pm-utils, deleted the file again and.. it works!

If you have a second machine you can connect via SSH to your GMA500 machine and grab the logs right after the event you are trying to capture.

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately there is no such option right now, as there is no other PC available. So I will just attach the normal log files.

Is it just me or does full screen video on Youtube still not work?

edit: neither does suspend.
