+ You you can get packages with OpenSUSE 11.2 Intel GMA500 (Poulsbo)
+ Drivers (http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/psb-opensuse-11.2/) here:
+ http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/psb-opensuse-11.2/
+ (http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/psb-opensuse-11.2/) . And yes, as Stefan,
+ noted, it's a horrible mess -- even ships own builds of drm kernel
+ module and libdrm. Can be argued that it may be better than nothing
+ though.
