What driver did you use?
I used the ppa:gma500/ppa repository as described in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo for
Ubuntu Lucid.
There is lot of green in the table the real situation for this driver is
not as excellent/good. Or if it is "good" then as comparison Nvidia
binary driver quality is superior and high above the scale... I have had
problems with Nvidia drivers but they have been solved/mitigated to
usable level. Even if closed binary drivers are generally bad there are
poor and usable examples.
Anyway, »besides Intel Poulsbo« meant this chip is using closed drivers
and is not supported by xf86-video-intel and so it does not fit into my
wish list.
I fully agree. If I knew this Intel chipset had only closed binary
drivers I would have bought my kids another netbook. I bet there will be
problems with new X.org and next Ubuntu problems.
