[Bug 330906] Re: MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04)

 

I have the same issue on a Dell Mini 12, Jaunty lpia architecture. The
native resolution is 1200x800 but it was defaulting to 1024x768 which
stretches and blurs the graphics horribly.

I got a non-squished resolution by downloading a dpkg of 815resolution
from an old i386 version of Ubuntu, but the frame rate is extremely
slow, almost to the point of non-useability, and 3d is not working at
all.

It would be great to see some proper work put in by the Ubuntu team in
packaging the Poulsbo drivers for Jaunty. Hopefully pressure can be put
upstream on Intel to release the drivers and firmware licensed under a
proper FOSS license. I find it incredible that there is this big hole in
what is a swiftly emerging Linux market: netbooks across the entire high
end Dell Mini range.
