You'll need some of those patches to build the module on newer kernels. The module will not get upstream in current form, as it works with the proprietary bits of psb userspace and hence wouldn't be appropriate. Plus, the upstream developers (Intel's Poulsbo folks) seem to have no interest in maintaining it as part of the upstream kernel.

I'd like to know if there is a frame buffer driver for GMA500? I'm a developer of Android-x86 project, and I'm porting Android-x86 to Eee PC T91, which also uses GMA500. Since Android only use frame buffer for display, a fb driver for GMA500 is really important to us. Thanks! Hi, Nice work.
