Title: Getting gma500-poulsbo extension to work
Post by: n3ond4x on May 30, 2013, 11:11:49 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to get the a module from the gma500-poulsbo extension (psb_gfx) to load at startup but I'm not sure where to put it. I can load it manually after Xorg loads with a simple modprobe. But by then xrandr and Xorg still have the wrong information for resolutions. I figure I need to get this to load before Xorg.

Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks!

bootlocal would be the correct place.

Hmm, I tried that before and the resolutions available to me were only 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480. And it defaults to 1600x1200 which is not the native resolution of the monitor. Since this device will be switching monitors a lot I need it to auto detect at startup and adjust accordingly. I was thinking that since the module was loading too late Xorg wasn't using it to detect the optimal resolution.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

If you have an  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  file, the first entry on the  Modes  line is the default resolution.
