no problem, sorry I haven’t been able to update this lately. The driver moved into RPM Fusion, so it’s possible someone has kept it up to date there, but I’m not sure.

Hi Adam, I registered just to say huge THANK YOU for all your work on Poulsbo for Fedora. I’m just a simple Fedora Fanboy (since Core 3) but if I say that many of us would be out in the cold without your work it would be an understatement. I just tried to install Fedora 15 on my Wife’s Dell 1010 and your code wasn’t there, then I read your comment that there was no interest upstream & you had gotten rid of your gma500 laptop, so I; ‘kissed her little sister’ and installed F14 and it flew in, Kudos to you Adam, may you “Live Long and Prosper) Moth

Nah, Ubuntu does too. Actually, most distros will, Fedora 12 is one of very few where it _can’t_ work. The difference is simply X server version; F12 went to X server 1.7 while most releases this round stuck with 1.6. The problem is the psb driver does not work with server 1.7.

@edward i tried installing from the ‘fedora 12′ repo from adam’s site.. sadly, i didn’t make it to X on reboot However, the install process didn’t report any errors, i think.. anyway, more waiting I guess.. currently on opensuse11.2 till then (the only distro, apart from mandriva, that has working poulsbo on its latest version?)

BTW, for Ubuntu 9.10 there is a simple tutorial over there: http://blog.ygraphix.net/2009/11/08/intel-gma500-poulsbo-on-kubuntu-9-10/

it’s french but copiing the command line contents is enough to get trough, and it definately works!
