For Karmic (9.10) here is what I had to do (from http://mail.ale.org/pipermail/ale/2009-October/113618.html)
The solution is to manually d/l and install this package: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver- xorg-video-psb/xserver-xorg-video-psb_0.31.0-0ubuntu1~904um1_i386.deb then add this software source: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucazade/gma500/ubuntu karmic main and then add Lucazade's key: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6699F3D9 then apt-get update apt-get install psb-firmware psb-kernel-headers psb-kernel-source xpsb-glx libdrm-poulsbo1 poulsbo-config and then set your xorg.conf to this: ------------------------------------------------------- Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Option "IgnoreACPI" Option "AccelMethod" "exa" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" Option "NoDDC" Driver "psb" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection #Added for mouse pad Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" Option "CorePointer" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" EndSection ------------------------------------------------------- Now if you look at the launchpad page for the software source (https://launchpad.net/~lucazade/+archive/gma500) you will see that the required xserver-xorg-video-psb package failed to build 3 weeks ago. Dig around a bit and you will see that the build error is a very minor "unable to rm -f a *directory*" which is why the needed package isn't in the gma550 PPA. <sigh> -Jim P. -- MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-psb in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
