You appear to have the same chipset as I do: mattia@ludwig:~/devel> lspci -n -s 00:02.0 00:02.0 0300: 8086:8108 (rev 06) did you actually try all the tricks I described previously? Specifically I noticed that the mem= command line parameter and loading psb.ko late enough in the boot sequence help a lot. Oh wait, you have rev 07... not sure what the difference is. > The only way I could get the graphic card to work with performance is with the > even less free iegd driver from intel, so this is what I will be using in the This is quite interesting actually. If nothing else because *maybe* this other driver works better than psb on my laptop. Also, I read on the IEGD website that there should be a kernel patch somewhere. I'm now digging around the intel website to see if I can find anything useful -- the only "driver" I was able to download so far contains some sort of exe (archive?). > near future, while I'm waiting for a newer (and working for me) version of > the psb driver. > > And until this is there, I dont have interest in packaging psb, sorry. > > If someone comes up with suitable packages for Debian sid, I'd be willing to > sponsor them, though. No worries, I could upload them myself if I was any convinced it was a good idea. The 3D driver has no chance of working with any current libdrm implementation and even currently video playback is so bad that it's just useless. Anyway, I reworked the packages even more and now at least the packaging situation is less sad: - libdrm-psb doesn't need to conflict or replace libdrm anymore, the psb xorg driver picks it up, much like the intel driver does. - almost lintian clean, no big errors except for the kernel driver but those seem false positives. - all packges are 3.0 (quilt)... just for fun. On the negative side the kernel module packaging is still crappy but to be honest I can't be bothered making it any better for now. I have all my stuff here with a little explanation in case you want to give it another go: http://www.kamineko.org/debian-psb/ Thanks -- mattia :wq!
