I have tested it, and with some mod. to the xorg.conf file, I have got it working.
Nice weekend project!

Above is a working copy of my xorg.conf for the fit-pc2. Rev. 1.4
Cheers.

That sounds very good! But I can't find a "IEMGD_1_5_2_GOLD_1816_Extract.exe" at http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD. At "Download Now" I can still just select Fedora or MeeGo. Where can I find this file?

Ok I found it. All OS have the same file IEMGD_1_5_2_GOLD_ALL_1816.zip. And If I extract IEMGD_1_5_2_GOLD_ALL_1816.zip I get IEMGD_1_5_2_GOLD_1816_Extract.exe

I did a download for Fedora... It's just a bundel of drivers for a couple of Linux versions.

hm, which kernel do you use? I had no errors during compilation/installation. But at the end, when trying to insert the new modul, I just get:

`--# modprobe emgd
WARNING: Error inserting drm_kms_helper (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko): Cannot allocate memory
FATAL: Error inserting emgd (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/emgd/emgd.ko): Cannot allocate memory

I will try to update my squeeze.

2.6.32-fit-pc2
I buil;d a custom kernel, but it is based on the stock kernel 2.6.32, as you can see.

Did you do a reboot afther the installation?

Is a reboot really necessary. At the moment, I cannot do a reboot. But a few minutes ago I updated
linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-27 with
linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-30
(also headers and source), so I will do a reboot in the next time, if possible

What did you change at your custom kernel?

The DRM for the poulsbo driver has to be initialized. This happens at the startup of your computer.
My Debian squeeze is completely up-to-date.

My kernel s optimized for the atom processor, and I turned off a lot of features wich I did not need. You can work perfectly with the stock kernel.

Ok, I rebooted and the driver works! I can't believe! Never thought this would ever happen:

glxgears -> 360 fps (fbdev 120fps)
scrolling -> smoothly enough (like fbdev, I used before)
xv-video -> works => Now I can watch videos in fullscreen. Yeah!

So now I have to build a mplayer with vaapi support for HD-Videos?


correction: Unfortunatly scrolling is not as smoothly as with fbdev. For example this forum sometimes really bucks, when scrolling with mouse-wheel. My browser (seamonkey) even one time freezes. With fbdev my browser never freeze before!

addition2: When I drag the sidebar and draw it slowly up or down and drop it: The window is still scrolling a couple of time after droping! This is very bad. Hm, maybe I will switch between fbdev and emgd for "normal working" or multimedia.

well, congratulations! And happy Debian, because I do not know anything about mplayer (or movies)
