Pacho+Christopher, I actually have an early 32-bit-only Poulsbo/Atom ASUS netbook working. I think I can speak with a little authority because of that. See message that I posted in Gentoo-Users... http://gentoo.2317880.n4.nabble.com/Intel-GMA500-Poulsbo-works-with-recent-kernels-td158517.html a few notes... 1) The instructions at http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/linux-gma500-poulsbo-driver-moved-out-of-staging/ list the "make menuconfig" steps necessary for the Poulsbo GPU. Since the "Intel GMA5/600 KMS Framebuffer" option is selected, xf86-video-fbdev *MUST* be used as the video driver. I did try xf86-video-modesetting, a few minutes ago and it does not support X Windows on my machine. I also suggest that those instructions be copied into the mask message, at least the following... * Kernel setup (make menuconfig) Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) -> Intel GMA5/600 KMS Framebuffer * X video driver x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev 2) CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO is not absolutely necessary, but may be helpful. It is related to specialized stuff like controlling brightness and other low-level video control stuff 3) See also http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/ubuntu-12-04-gma500-poulsbo-boot-options/ for more Poulsbo-specific tweaking. -- Walter Dnes
