In theory, the Moblin IVI release with the IEGD drivers included would work and enable the use of xfce desktop. I don't think uxlaunch works too well for launching the Moblin UX with these drivers though. I seem to recall people having success by booting into runlevel 3, logging in and doing a startx. Details should be searchable in the mailing list archives. Is it just me or is there a sudden influx of requests about the Poulsbo drivers lately. -- Glen Gray sla...@slaine.org _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List dev@moblin.org To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: http://lists.moblin.org/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
