Blueprint changed by Lucazade:

Whiteboard changed:
- EMGD 1.5.2 packaged and working :)
- 
- 
- Compatibility:
- * Maverick (kernel 2.6.35 and xorg 1.9)
- * Natty (kernel 2.6.38 and xorg 1.9) .. thanks Tista for patch!
- * Lucid (only old Emgd release available.. look at notes for installation tip!)
- 
- 
- Installation:
- Drivers are available in this PPA:  https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd
- 
- I've also created a small script to automatize installation
- wget dl.dropbox.com/u/1338581/emgd.sh && sudo sh ./emgd.sh
- 
- at the end of installation script it will be opened /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- to modify lcd resolution if different from 1366x768
- 
- 
- To be done/fixed:
- * Build mplayer-vaapi and gnome-mplayer against libva included in Ubuntu repositories and put in PPA.
- * Package xorg 1.9 in PPA (useful when Natty will switch to xorg 1.10)
- 
- 
- Working features:
- * 2D 
- * 3D
- * Xv videoplayback (totem, skype, cheese..)
- * Vaapi videoplayback (not tested in depth yet!)
- * Compiz, Unity-2D
- * EMGD Ui - configuration tool
- 
- 
- Broken features:
- * Brightness hotkeys (at least with acer751h, working correctly with asus1101HA)
- * Suspend (needs workaround)
- 
- 
- Known Workarounds:
- * Grub, Vts and Plymouth with native resolution:
- echo "GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768" | sudo tee -a "/etc/default/grub"
- echo "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep" | sudo tee -a "/etc/default/grub"
- sudo update-grub
- 
- 
- * Suspend:
- sudo mv /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video /usr/lib/pm-utils/99video
- 
- 
- * Notes
- To install EMGD drivers on Lucid use this script:
- wget dl-web.dropbox.com/u/1338581/emgd/install.sh && sudo sh ./install.sh
- (It will backport xorg to 1.8.x and install specific drivers for Lucid)
