Since acquiring this netbook around two months ago, I have been scouring the net looking for a solution all in vain. I've posted it about in the comment section of Adam Williamson's blog: http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/08/10/intel-gma500-poulsbo-on-fedora-11-repository-with-working-3d-compiz-support/#comment-980 As well as here: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20091129132037671&board_id=20&model=Eee+PC+1101HA&page=1&SLanguage=en-us and here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=233185 and here: http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=119960 without success. The worst is that an Amazon customer did get F11 working on this very model: http://www.amazon.com/review/R11XYCNXTRZQGX As I detailed in exhaustive detail in all of the above posts, in any of the distros that support Poulbos -- Ubuntu 9.04, F11, Mandriva 2010 -- the screen grays out at the point X is loaded. Nothing in the xorg or system logs give any indication of what is going wrong. The thing boots but nothing is displayed. At the moment, I am running this Eee with VESA 800x600, which is obviously deeply unsatisfactory. I love the size/performance of this laptop, but basically, from a Linux perspective, it appears to be a lemon; I would have sold it already on eBay except that I deleted Windows the partition, and I have no idea how to reinstall it. At this point I honestly feel like tossing this POS in the nearest canal, and starting over with the one of the Intel 950-based netbooks. -Colin ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/asus-eee-pc-1101HA%3A-memtest-error-tp26878168p26881537.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
