BIOS update, setting GPIO in DDC mode
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:46 pm
Hi,
contrary to recommendations, I run Debian on both of my Fit-PC 1 units.
I have re-installed them a couple of times, tested every version of Ubuntu and Debian the past 4 years, wishing that the graphics card would finally install correctly - but it never has!!!
Prior to the current Debian version 6, there was always a possibility to tweak xorg.conf and it would work - but not so, not any more.
So I placed a bug rapport: http://tinyurl.com/3falnc9 with Debian.
What puzzles the geode driver package maintainer is the fact, that Fit-PC 1 has the DDC pins configured for serial I/O - and the GPIO can't be probed correctly.
One suggestion is to correct this and release an update of the BIOS.
Plz, would you consider doing this???
