Any luck with Fedora 11 and the gma 500 driver?

Post by teetee1 »

Has anyone tried the driver released by Adam Williamson on Fedora 11?
http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/08/10/intel-gma500-poulsbo-on-fedora-11-repository-with-working-3d-compiz-support/

I installed the driver on freshly installed and updated Fedora11 on my fit-PC2 wireless version. There were series of errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log including

"(EE): PSB(0) Probe Address LVDSBLC_B Slave 0x58 failed."

Am just wondering if anyone had any luck with the psb driver so far.

As the error mentions LVDS, you should try the xorg.conf supplied by Compulabs at [1]. I did some tests with F13, but switched back to Ubuntu as the system was sort of unstable and unresponsive. For F13 instructions see [2] -- there is a section about using external monitors, too, so you might want to have a look at it even when using F11.
