10 | The in-kernel GMA500 driver is being used with xf86-video-modesetting and it |
11 | has some advantages over xf86-video-fbdev (like xrandr 1.2 so you can |
12 | configure the resolution of your external monitor). |
13 | |
14 | I have seen occasional reports from users that the modesetting driver fails |
15 | to detect the Poulsbo graphics, but due to lack of hardware I could not |
16 | investigate further. If the modesetting driver does not work for you, then it |
17 | would be a good idea to report a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and |
18 | include the relevant logs. |
