I've installed Karmic (standard 32-bit Desktop edition, not the UNR) on my Aspire One AO751h netbook ;
I thought that this "1366x768 support on Aspire One" issue would have been solved "natively" in Karmic, along with the fixes of the Intel video drivers mumbo-jumbo seen in Jaunty.

So I'm trying to understand why the packages that were published here on Launchpad for 9.04 don't work any longer in Karmic :
I've unpacked the .deb files (xserver-xorg-video-psb, libdrm-poulsbo1, psb-kernel-source) that seem to bring the xorg modified stuff to support 1366x768 with the Intel "Poulsbo" chip (which is included in the Aspire One AO751h ; some quick conclusions would be that :
 - "xserver-xorg-video-psb" requires "libdrm-poulsbo1"
 - but "libdrm-poulsbo1" is marked as conflicting with "libdrm2"
 - and (unfortunately...) "libdrm2" is installed by default in Karmic
I've tried to compile the psb-kernel-source part separately as shown by its deb package postinst script, but it fails at some point because some "DRM_..." C structures brought by the OS are not defined as expected by the psb source code... so I guess this is one of the show-stopper differences between libdrm2 and libdrm-poulsbo1 ?
If you try to uninstall libdrm2, well dpkg wants to ununinstall xorg completely first...
So I feel stuck at this point, don't know how to get further.

Don't hesitate to point out if what I'm describing above is not correct
; if I can be of any help, just ask...
