Acer Aspire One AO751h Video Help:INTEL GMA500
by David Pastula
Recently put Fedora on my netbook, but having difficult time getting a
decent video driver loaded.. only generic now. Does anyone have simple
directions to get a good driver loaded? Its been a while since I was on
unix, so needs to be fairly detailed in step...
Thanks!

David, sorry, not sent to list, here text:
My machine is a lower spec than yours, from Xorg.0.log, it uses:
PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:27ae:1025:015b Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME
Express Integrated Graphics Controller rev 3,
PCI: (0:0:2:1) 8086:27a6:1025:015b Intel Corporation Mobile
945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller rev 3,
The log goes on to say it is using X.org's drivers
'intel',
'vesa'. and
'fbdev'.
Its intel driver is described in the log as supporting:
(II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G,
965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, GM45,
4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43, Clarkdale, Arrandale
I'm not familiar with Intel hardware, so I'm not sure if any of those
are GMA500.
Presumably your system is using the standard X.org 'intel', 'vesa',
and 'fbdev' drivers? Actually, I think you can alter the config to
tell it what to use (I may be mistaken). Perhaps your system is
'standardising' on a low performance driver when one of the other
in-built drivers would work better?
David, I should say that my help is likely to be limited to doing
comparisons for you - I don't have the skills to compile a driver. I
felt I could offer my experience with the AA1 - but it seems to be a
different chipset version, anyway, so I'm not sure my contribution
will be much more help to you. I am sorry about that.

David, I'll have a closer look at my own machine's set up to see if
there are any hints I can add.
In the meantime, did you know about this user site for most things AA1?
http://www.aspireoneuser.com/
In the past, when I first tried the AA1 with Linux (FC8 / Linpus), I
found it invaluable. The reason I mention it is that you're probably
not the first to have encountered a problem, and maybe someone else
with your machine has already got a work-around.
For my machine, I also found this next site helpful.
http://jorge.fbarr.net/2010/06/09/fedora-13-on-the-acer-aspire-one/
Jorge has also added more info since that posting.
In the meantime, I'll look closer at my machine.

Hey,
If you're using the binary driver from the nvidia website, I suggest you
shift to the kmod. fedorasolved.org has a howto on removing the binary
drivers too IIRC.
Then, rpmfusion releases a kmod for every version of the kernel and your
driver remains updated and working.

Thanks!

nVidia Support and Latest Kernel
by John Giotta
Latest Kernel: 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64
Kernel I am running: 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64
Video Card: nVidia Corporation GT216 [Quadro FX 880M]
I'm running the official nVidia driver and I'm having some trouble
with X starting when I try to boot the latest kernel.
What could be happening that would cause the failure?
