Feature changed by: Markus K (KAMiKAZOW) Feature #306413, revision 6 Title: Poulsbo (GMA500) graphics support openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) reject date: 2009-06-05 18:37:48 reject reason: The driver is a mess. Thus it's simply not possible to integrate it. If you're interested into more details, see enhancement Bug #462707. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Justin Haygood (jhaygood) Description: openSUSE should support laptops with an Intel GMA500 (Poulsbo) graphics card. Currently, Ubuntu has a monopoly on such machines, such as the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Discussion: #1: Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) (2009-06-05 18:37:19) The driver is a mess. Thus it's simply not possible to integrate it. If you're interested into more details, see enhancement Bug #462707. #2: Lubomir Kundrak (lkundrak) (2009-11-08 20:57:09) 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. + #3: Markus K (kamikazow) (2009-11-15 22:19:50) + According to http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzY2Mg + a FOSS 2D driver (3D parts closed) is in development by Intel itself. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306413
