I've installed Navigatrix on ASUS Eee PC 1201HA 1.33Hz it is ok exclude screen drivers, it appears incorrect. System notifies that some proprietary drivers required. But when try to download it via standard tool Hardware Drivers, process terminates with notice that download was fault.
Please advice way to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance!

I gave a quick look and this is what I've found so far:



It 1:15AM here...I'll give a more thorough look into your problem in the morning...well later in the morning, as some of the advice provided in the link above won't fit your situation.

Thanks for reply! Will try to fix and report result.

Hang on a tick. I think you'll run into some problems as the advice calls for editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf ...which we don't have. The style has changed a bit.

....let me finish my coffee and clear the fog in my head.

Ok, let's go back to the beginning.

When you ran it from the USB...was everything OK?

...and only after a hard drive install things went wrong?

Is this correct?

If it is, what is it that is wrong? Resolution? Aspect...not being proportional...stretched?

It won't be the first time I've offered advice without fully understanding what's going on, but the 1201HA gets linked to these poulsbo files frequently.

Open a terminal and enter:...and that should do it--whatever 'it' might be.

Someone stated that you don't need 'acpi_backlight=vendor', as claimed in other parts of the internet...that it makes the keyboard brightness control less functional...I don't know. I don't even know what the problem is.

Just as a means of explanation to what is going on with those commands...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/ppa

This means: acting as 'root', the supreme commander, add to the list of repositories the following ppa (personal package archive) named 'gma500'.

Personal package archive is a software package (or packages) for hardware or software that warrants...in someone's opinion...an additional package made available for unique hardware or significant software modifications.

If you don't have a gma500 video chip there is no reason (other than fruitless curiosity) to do this.

sudo apt-get update

Updates your list of available packages.

sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d poulsbo-config

Installs the 3 named packages...in this case they are packages from the previously added (and updated) ppa index.

sudo reboot

...and reboots.

Yes, but according provided via link it is created. In my case the system got off after manipulations advised via link provided.

Negative, it was appeared similar under usb as well as under hard installations.

Thanks a lot! In one or two guy with that laptop will come to me and we continue this journey according to advised. I will wright a result here.

Moe, it does not fix this problem. When i perform above system does not start back correctly, only black screen with command line which requires admin login and password, when insert it says Welcome but no any other interface is initiated.
I made
and i have following software on this laptop:
I do not understand either it is GMA 500 or not.

My problem is in proportion, screen is stretched in horizontal and graphics are very slow.

When try to initiate Preferences-Hardware drivers, there is error:

Think it is valuable. When perform
there is as follows:

So, system gets broken only after

When try to install poulsbo via Synaptic and has following errors:

I think I've located the general area of the problem. It might take me a day, or two, to figure out the specifics, and if it can be fixed.

The psb-kernel-source want to make the psb-modules. But it's hanging up on the kernel headers and dies. It can't make the module...so the rest of the process can do its stuff.

Like with most things; once you understand how it doesn't work you can begin to understand how it should work.

This is an example of the problems one encounters....

...apparently for the programmers of this module, kernel 3.0.9 (the one in Navigatrix) is not later than 2.6.x.

Now, it's time to hit the rum.

I've never been a fan of drm. I don't understand it. I can barely spell it.

But this is the wall I'm running into. Specifically:I've modified some things and moved further down the road to compiling a psb module...but now I'm bumping into this drm auth problem. I don't have the "magic number" in more ways then one.

I don't know if this is hard coded into the device and their way of thinking is that if you don't have the device you don't need the module...or what?

This is what I've done.

Become super straight away
(It's a 32/64 bit Makefile but the psb module is looking for a 32 bit Makefile...so I gave it one.)

I went downtown and picked through the waste bin for the file attached at the bottom of this post and copied it from the Downloads directory to the current directory.Repaired a symbolic link...
Edited the module code so it doesn't choke on the kernelwent down to lines 256-259 and comment out with a #Save and exit gedit

Since you have the hardware; try it...and see if it makes it through.

If it does....or
If not, it's back to the drawing board.

Humour me....suppose nothing has worked. So far it's just been a long educational slog.

It looks like possibly the module you seek is already there. Yeah...surprised me too.
to update the database of all the files on your machine.to see if you have a file named and located at

/lib/modules/3.0.9-dsp/kernel/drivers/staging/gma500/psb_gfx.ko

It should be...no, really...it should.

If you don't; download the file attached to the bottom of this post and put it there.

When it's in place (and we know it is)What happens?

Moe, thanks a lot! Regardless any result you've done big job. I'm appreciated. Will probe this way in couple of days and report here.

so, i found this file on my own machine, not on that which is in problem. Will look tomorrow in that one.
