Description of problem: After some detective work I found out that xorg.conf is configured by the mouse package: drakx-kbd-mouse-x11-0.101-1.mga2 The old psb kernal module is deprecated. The new mga500_gfx module in the 3.3.3 kernel should be used instead, together with the fbdev driver: x11-driver-video-fbdev-0.4.2-7.mga2. When I select "Poulsbo US15W(GMA500)" in XFdrake it starts installing x11-driver-video-psb-0.31.0-8 and compiling dkms-psb-4.41.1-7 But the compilation fails, so it falls back to I don't now what. Moving a window is jerky. I find that moving windows is much less jerky, if Driver "fbdev" is inserted into /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I suggest that XFdrake XFdrake->Vendor->Intel->Poulsbo US15W(GMA500) be modified, so that it inserts Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "Intel" BoardName "Poulsbo US15W(GMA500)" Driver "fbdev" Option "DPMS" EndSection into /etc/X11/xorg.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.101-1.mga2 How reproducible: always, but this hardware is needed: rt3090sta : Ralink corp.|RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [NETWORK_OTHER] r8169 : Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.|RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [NETWORK_ETHERNET] (rev: 02) pata_sch : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) IDE Controller [STORAGE_IDE] (rev: 07) lpc_sch : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) LPC Bridge [BRIDGE_ISA] (rev: 07) sdhci_pci : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) SDIO Controller #2 [SYSTEM_SDHCI] (rev: 07) sdhci_pci : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) SDIO Controller #1 [SYSTEM_SDHCI] (rev: 07) ehci_hcd : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) USB EHCI #1 [SERIAL_USB] (rev: 07) uhci_hcd : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) USB UHCI #3 [SERIAL_USB] (rev: 07) uhci_hcd : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) USB UHCI #2 [SERIAL_USB] (rev: 07) uhci_hcd : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) USB UHCI #1 [SERIAL_USB] (rev: 07) shpchp : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) PCI Express Port 2 [BRIDGE_PCI] (rev: 07) shpchp : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) PCI Express Port 1 [BRIDGE_PCI] (rev: 07) snd_hda_intel : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio Controller (rev: 07) Card:Intel Poulsbo US15W (GMA500): Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller [DISPLAY_VGA] (rev: 07) unknown : Intel Corporation|System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) [BRIDGE_HOST] (rev: 07) hub : Linux 3.3.3-desktop586-1.mga2 ehci_hcd|EHCI Host Controller [Hub|Unused|Full speed (or root) hub] hub : Linux 3.3.3-desktop586-1.mga2 uhci_hcd|UHCI Host Controller [Hub|Unused|Full speed (or root) hub] lirc_igorplugusb: Cesko|AVR309:USB to UART protocol converter (simple) hub : Linux 3.3.3-desktop586-1.mga2 uhci_hcd|UHCI Host Controller [Hub|Unused|Full speed (or root) hub] usbhid : Logitech|Logitech Illuminated Keyboard [Human Interface Device|Boot Interface Subclass|Keyboard] hub : Linux 3.3.3-desktop586-1.mga2 uhci_hcd|UHCI Host Controller [Hub|Unused|Full speed (or root) hub] usbhid : Logitech|USB Optical Mouse [Human Interface Device|Boot Interface Subclass|Mouse] Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

We don't have mga500_gfx in our kernel If dkms-psb doesn't compile, we do need to switch Poulsbo
CC: (none) => tmbSource RPM: drakx-kbd-mouse-x11-0.101-1.mga2 => ldetect-lst
Created attachment 2129 [details] use fbdev by default for Poulsbo Can you confirm that with that change, default choice with XFdrake is OK?

(In reply to comment #1) > We don't have mga500_gfx in our kernel > If dkms-psb doesn't compile, we do need to switch Poulsbo Oh, but we do... modinfo gma500_gfx filename: /lib/modules/3.3.4-desktop-1.mga2/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/gma500_gfx.ko.xz Hm, I guess I should obsolete the dkms-psb stuff with core kernel & x11-driver-video-psb with x11-driver-video-fbdev
I have testet XFdrake with the modified ldetect-lst The driver selection works, but when I come to the the monitor selection there is an odd problem. I can only chose DefaultColorDepth=16. But I know that 24 is the correct value. I have been using it in xorg.conf without any problems. When I re-booted the left half of the screen was in pink colors (the right half was black). Then I tried Automatic for the resolution and everything worked as before. The resolution was 1600x1200 which is the maximum possible. The DefaultColorDepth had gone from xorg.conf. So why does it insist on a value of 16 when the when the correct one is 24?
Fixed.
