Intel GMA 500
Hi !
It looks like once more i´ve decided to buy a netbook without checking if all hardware fit's my needs.
I have a asus 1101ha width an graphic intel gma 500.
I´ve been searching the web and it looks like Intel is not developing a driver for linux systems.
I would like to know if anyone as the same graphic chip set, and if is there any work arround.
Hi I have the same hardware
For the moment I'm doing work properly the graphics card with the kernel 2.6.28-16 in ubuntu-jaunty (you have to add repo from ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main)
In Backtrack no success at the moment...

Hey guys,
Intel has never had much to do with the linux drivers, they are actually maintained by a company called Tungsten Graphics.
You could give this a go ...

Again this is a case of you not searching and reading a little bit.Originally Posted by inneed
Furthermore is there a specific reason you would not want to upgrade to the latest kernel if you are going to upgrade it?
google + upgrade kernel ubuntu =
first result =Code:# apt-cache search kernel-image
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
You can find at kernel.org but I do not be strongly recommended to follow the procedure. This is really experimental.If however you want to try contact me in pm
