Comment(by danboid):
I forgot to mention that the official i915resolution (
http://915resolution.mango-lang.org/ ) doesn't natively support the
GMA500, instead it requires this patch:
http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/contrib/915resolution/gma500.patch
Then I can use i915resolution in conjunction with uvesafb and get 2D good
enough for SD video playback, youtube etc. without using the flaky psb X11
driver. In fact I benchmarked them and uvesafb managed to outperform the
'proper' poulsbo X11 driver in many instances.
Is this i915/GMA500 BIOS patching code any use to you getting the GMA500
working with the Intel Extreme or the VESA driver Axel? Fingers crossed us
poulsbo users aren't SOL again - I'll assist with this however I can.
