Well, the problem is not with the version of ubuntu, I tried desktop version to and the same results. finally im using ubuntu without graphic drivers I just can use a 800x600 resolution (the screen supports 1024x600) but like says japanese people shoganai (there is not solution) for now. Thanks for all. If somebody knows about other solution, please.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979833074070742447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884121590878569662.post-2947280946228680232010-10-18T18:46:52.765-07:002010-10-18T18:46:52.765-07:00@Jason King you make a very valid point so i have ...@Jason King you make a very valid point so i have added a note to the post explaining this isn't for first time Ubuntu users but rather for more experienced user who don't want or can't run windows. Trying to get Ubuntu onto something with a gma500 could certainly ruin a users first experience of Ubuntu(which is normally super easy).jamespcolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409422141704485714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884121590878569662.post-15155360831601362432010-10-18T14:15:40.039-07:002010-10-18T14:15:40.039-07:00@Jason King to get videos working with this driver...@Jason King to get videos working with this driver you need to install mplayer from the gma500 ppa which is compiled with vaapi support.

While the above instructions should fix the screen resolution they may break video. When I have installed these drivers, the webcam breaks and I can no longer play video's. Original there were no problems with 10.4, but a few months ago Video stopped working. To test I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a small partition. Video's,movies,webcam all worked without the Paulsbo drivers (the screen res was broken obviously). As soon as the Paulsbo drivers were installed once again, video was broken. As soon as I can move my data I'm going back to Windows. Its not all Ubuntu's fault its just that these proprietary drivers are not properly supportedJason Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906565868883658107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884121590878569662.post-12993917671279227152010-10-16T23:48:32.085-07:002010-10-16T23:48:32.085-07:00Hey, Thanks on my Netbook with Ubuntu 10.10 it wor...Hey, Thanks on my Netbook with Ubuntu 10.10 it works really goodUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373153641666126501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884121590878569662.post-24682146209236746892010-10-15T04:34:55.542-07:002010-10-15T04:34:55.542-07:00@Jairo E.
