After another attempt, I got it working by using the “NoPanel” option.

I now have a working system! Cheers and thanks for the guide!

Looks like you might want to try adding this line to xorg.conf :

Option “NoPanel” “true”

in the ‘Device’ section. That’s from http://fit-pc2.com/download/ubuntu/files/xorg.conf , which is part of this guide for the Fit 2. There’s a lot of other crap in that xorg.conf , but I think that’s the operative bit.

Hi, I have just installed Fedora 13 in my FitPC2 and as soon as I install the modules and reboot, I cannot get X to start. By checking the logs on X, I found this:

Fatal server error:
Couldn’t find PLL settings for mode!

If I start with initmode 3, I can see the modules correctly loaded, but when I start X, the monitor turns off.

I have tried a myriad of xorg.conf options to no avail. Any suggestion?

USB ports have nothing to do with the graphics driver, you should talk to the kernel team.

I have the same problem as Felix with the USB devices on a Sony Vaio X13 on Arch Linux (based on the sources you provide)..

Problem only exists with “newer” kernels.

Any information I can provide you with to help debug this?

Because xv doesn’t work. x11 (unaccelerated playback) and libva accelerated playback do.

Install worked quite well on my Acer Aspire AO0751H. Resolution and 2D acceleration are fine, no 3D though.

Interestingly, video playback with xine or vlc does not work in the standard installation. But in firefox, ogg (big buck bunny) and flash (adobe flash 10.1) videos are working properly. If I set ShadowFB to “true” in xorg.conf, video playback with xine and vlc is working but it is quite slow. window rendering seems also to get slower compared to ShadowFB = false.

does anyone have an idea, why video playback is working in ff, but not with xine or vlc (I also tested this with the mplayer-accel, which also did not work)?

Thank Adam . It Worked Properly In My Acer Aspire AO751H “Fedora 13″ but with a bit changes in procedure :
for who could not install this driver I Suggest try these steps and it may be work :
First : I Get Configurations from http://www.rpmfusion.org/configuration using Terminal …
Second : I Logged in as root in terminal by typing (su –login) and entering my administrative password …
Third : I Typed this command in terminal (yum install xorg-x11-drv-psb) and it downloaded some files & installed them .
forth : Reboot & Every thing was ok & Fedora runs with 1366*768 resolution …
Thanks to Every one Who Provided This Driver …

Dear Adam,
Re-installed without updating fixed the problem.
sth wrong with the new kernel.

will refrain from updating kernel for the time being.
