Running Puppy on an Aspire One 0751h
Running Puppy on an Aspire One 0751h
Just wondering if anyone has successfully compiled the Poulsbo drivers for puppy, I'm using 5.2 , can't seem to get X at all other than with vesa and hate to admit it but even puppy is painfully slow and gittery when scrolling or moving of windows. This happens wether in 16 or 24 bit modes 16 is better but still not on par. Have had fair success when using PCLinux but I'd rather use puppy. @ the moment I have a hard drive install of Mint 9 fluxbox it works ok but slow.
I know this has been discussed somewhat here but haven't yet found a definitive answer to the GMA500 Poulsbo chipset. Surely I'm not the only one that has this complaint.
thanks for reading, all sugestions greatly appreciated

just bumping this thread as it's been a couple months and no reply's.
thought something new has happend with poulsbo driver.
I'm assuming that puppy should absolutely fly on this machine it's dual core 1333mhz atom but this GMA500 is crapola, I hate to say. only one distro acutally runs fluid which is pclinuxos gnome. don't know why but the other desktops don't even with the correct drive just the gnome version. anyway if anyone has input of success please let me know.
puppys vesa and i810 both work but are very slow
thanks yim

I suppose you had a look at all the GMA500 post on the puppy forum?
You can do it with the puppy search link in my sig.

I am sorry that you didn't find something relevant.
Apparently nobody here is able to help.
Maybe you could PM Barry Kauler directly.
Also there is a hardware video section in which you could post.
Then there is the bugs section i which you could post about 5.2 issues.
P.S. I had a good time in the autumn of 1972 riding on the blue ridge highway. It was in the WE where the color changes of the leaves were at the best, resulting in me not finding a place to sleep. All was booked and I had to spent the night in the car.

having a bit of trouble getting things to work , I am still messing around with the settings but restarting the xserver always defaults back to vesa and the screen is stretched in such a way that you can't make out the screen. But I'm still trying just letting you know that I'm giving it a go. will get back again soon

i got the uvesafb driver to work and it was a lot better, but still not up to par, have to wait for naitive driver if it comes
on my pclinux hd install kernel updated along with xorg and the newer versions no longer support psb driver. guys and gals take my advice and don't buy a machine with the gma500 graphics you'll be kickin your own ars, trust me, this has had the worst performance of any machine I've owned
shame on intel
shame on acer
liked both until this crappy rig (AAO za3 0751h)
thanks for the help guys, I do appreciate it

thank you very much for pointing this puplet out to me , I did download and try but unfortunately the video driver psb isn't in the xorg modules ,
I ran lsmod in terminal and it shows
video 9391 1 poulsbo
I check xorg.conf file and it shows the vesa driver is running, it works but this machine should run pretty good, and for puppy, well it should be a bad A$$. Very confused why it doesn't work well, no puppy I've tried yet runs very good, ok but not good by definition.
Midnightsun pup is a nice setup nontheless. and I thank you for trying to help me.
I got spoiled running pclinuxos gnome on this thing that was before they did all the updates, kernel and xorg. I mean for a full install of gnome it ran very fast and window movement was great smooth not herky jerky flash played well with about 80% cpu variable other distros are just not quite there and from what Ive gathered psb will no longer be supported. Oh well, if anyone has more suggestions, I'm game
thanks again

Yim. Sorry about misleading you. I searched the net and psb module is not in 2.6.38 source, it isnt maintained anymore.
That poulsbo driver is something else, maybe drm module.
http://linux.bigga.de/blog/blog-post/20 ... untu-1104/
In that article is mention about next version of the driver which appeared in 2.6.39 kernel.
psb_gfx should be part of kernel 3.0

Sorry that I was ignorant what I compiled in kernel and what it doesnt mean.But in the meantime, a new driver entered the staging tree of the kernel and is already part of 2.6.39. This driver-directory is called gma500 but the module is named psb_gfx and the driver is named psbfb. This driver supports Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) and uses the fbdev driver from xorg.
psb_gfx should be part of kernel 3.0
