Video Drivers

Post by ekips »

Are there going to be proper graphics drivers for the fit pc2?

The GMA500 not being a standard intel chip has very bad driver support, from the FAQ it looks like it will only be shipping with the current out of date drivers which only work on an old version of Ubuntu.

Is there going to be a proper driver available which will allow the use of other distros and newer kernels?

Display drivers in Ubuntu are closed source, but provide very decent 2D and excellent hardware accelerated video.
Drivers currently support Ubuntu 8.04 so fit-PC2 Linux ships with that version. Newer Ubuntu currently work with VESA drivers only.
