[opensuse] gma500 video and frame buffer
Hello I have a fit/PC which has a Intel GMA500 Poulsbo video chip in it. It doesn't function correctly as can be seen in this bug report http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2013-03/msg04778.html The device is connected to a DVI connected screen and everything is scrunched up into the upper left hand corner of the screen. I think it is running through the VESA frame buffer? The device is running on an updated openSuSE 12.2. I managed to get the system to not run through the frame buffer, giving me full console at least, not no X capability. Since I've been using it as a server, that has been fine. But know after the latest upgrade, the boot screen has changed and the viewport is squashed into the corner again. The chips worked with openSuSE 11.3, so I don't even know how it is now working, but please, it is possible, let me know if there is a kernel driver i can install to make it work with X11 properly, or get rid of the frame buffer permanently this time.
