Do the units have the same BIOS version?

I suggest you look at the instructions provided for installing Ubuntu on Fit-PC2.

Here's a status update... I've managed to get the SDVO DDC bus working and successfully parsing the EDID by replacing the current implementation with the one from the i915 driver. It still needs to be hooked up to the rest of the code (i915 handles encoders and connectors differently) properly but I...

Here are some basics that you can try. * Check USB drive for defects * Check your memory with memtest * Check HDD for defects * Make sure you're not affected by the ACPI C-state bug (http://fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=361) Have you tried installing the previously working version of Ubuntu ...

This is not really the right thread for this (it's for the psb_gfx driver) but I understand your confusion since the topic doesn't really say much. Unluckily, Ubuntu 10.04 does not support GMA500 out of the box, and the driver I found: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport ... rdsPoulsbo does not ...

What means '2D-Acceleration'. I'm using fbdev about a whole year. Scrolling is smoother. The idea with 2D acceleration is to offload common operations like blitting (see wikipedia) from the CPU to the GPU. This lets the CPU focus on other stuff than shuffling and converting data to the framebuffer....

2D acceleration, and when the SDVO code gets fixed you'll have proper video modes.

Not ready for production use, but feel free to test it.

The Fit-PC2 patch just landed in 3.0-rc3 and will be included in the final 3.0 release. Did some testing on another machine with gma500 (LVDS hookup) and the performance is quite ok. Youtube clips are now watchable in 340p (not in fullscreen though). Parsing EDID is still not working, seems the SDVO...

The new driver is working (but with a few issues). If you would like to give it a try do the following: [Update] 2011-07-12: No need to patch anymore 1. Get Greg's staging tree # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git 2. Checkout staging-next # cd staging-2.6 ...

Thanks, I took a quick peek and it is in many ways similar to the Fit-PC2 DSDT. However there are quite a lot of small differences so it might be hard to find the fix.

Cheers
