Cool, thanks for testing. Good to know that 3.3 will be usable.

Thanks for the info, I'll just ignore my stuttering screen for now :) The patch went in for 3.3-rc1 so it's there. But I just realized it will need to be patched away if you're going to force 1920x1080. Hopefully Alan sorts out the Cedarview issues soon so we can go back to getting >8MB framebuffers...

Hi kdpcb Just wanna clarify things a little and ask you a question. Ubuntu 12.04 uses the 3.2 kernel and thus only have the staging version of the driver (called psb_gfx). Kernel 3.3 have the newer gma500_gfx driver. gma500_gfx has support for detecting the correct resolution on Fit-PC2 but unfortun...

Looking forward to getting rid of my "video=..." workaround in a future version of the kernel, so thank you "prj". You're welcome. All patches for properly getting video modes are in Dave Airlies drm-next so if you would like to check it out you can do a git clone on git://people.freedesktop.org/~a...

I have very little experience with Windows 7 on Fit-PC2s but a Google search gives me this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-aero-on-windows-vista/ Disabling Aero might help. But if it doesn't, there isn't much you can do because of the proprietary nature of your OS (insert oblig...

Most likely you're hitting a bug in the graphics driver. Try disabling any 3D desktop effects, or try a different driver. I've heard that EMGD is supposed to be quite ok.

The system requirements they are talking about has nothing to do with your bug.

For me personally, I'm working on this because it's fun and good learning. But also I see these devices very suitable for industry applications where 3D and video decoding isn't very useful. Some of my customers are asking for these kind of devices but I rather not support something where I cannot g...

Status update: Just sent in patches for SDVO support on Fit-PC2, and things seems to work fine now. I get modes from all monitors I've tried with. There are some issues with higher resolutions like 1920x1080 but I'm working on fixing them. With some luck this will end up in Linux 3.2 but it might be...

Good work! What would you say about the speed of the driver in higher resolutions? Is it still usable?

Haven't had much time to work on the SDVO support but I now have some experimental code that seems ok. Will post here when things are ready for inclusion in staging.

I'm not saying it is the BIOS, but since we're asking to reboot through BIOS/ACPI it is a good place to start looking. Matthew Garrett has an interesting blog post about rebooting.

Fixing the BIOS is unfortunately non-trivial.
