That do not really answer to that problem, does it? So, the recommendation stays: avoid buying that crap.

They seem to be included in Ubuntu 12.04.1 repository: https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/cedarview But they seem to have some performance limitations.

Does it consist in a kernel module or only an X.Org driver? Why is it not integrated to the main Linux and X.Org development?

If you did there's no way you would make such an ill informed comment.. If you want to make comment on Intel's lack of support fine but don't lie about it.

A while ago, I developed an Atom based board for a presentation system which should have been sold at moderate prices. Unfortunately, I was forced to use Poulsbo gfx and after weeks of development there was a stupid situation, having no way to get drivers for this crap for the kernel we needed. The outcome was a design change to buy Windows licenses and rewrite our software for the Windows platform, ending up in a higher end price and less sales. "Great" job!

The next Atom chip's IGP will be based on the Ivy Bridge GPU, so you won't have anything to worry about. It'll be a lot more Linux friendly as it'll be using the same base code to power the graphics.

As long as open source is not financially good for them, they won't do it. D: I know, I hate it too. Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:38:00 +0000 Anonymoose
