[Xorg Server] Graphics Drivers for Asus EEE 1101HA

I just installed Arch Linux to my new Asus EEE 1101HA. Everything's fine, just Xserver starts in 1024x768 instead of 1366x768 which is really, really annoying. Which driver shall I use? Everyone's talking about Poulsbo, but it doesn't seem to be so stable (at least what I read). Or is it already reasonable stable? If not, which other drivers are available? Thanks.

Welcome to the forums Botanicus.

The whole Poulsbo situation is a bit of a mess. There's a thread here on how to get it running under Arch (my experiences are posted there). VESA will detect the correct modes automatically (well 1368x768). I find it too slow to use and haven't invested any time in trying to see if I could fix that. Personally I'm using uvesafb with the patched 915resolution-static in AUR. It has no 3D and the colors are fairly dull, but it works well enough for me. Just follow the uvesafb instructions in the wiki.

Hi skottish,

thank you very much. I set up uvesafb & 915resolutions and it works. I just have problems with X-drivers - you wrote me in other thread that I should use fbdev and should read about it on wiki. But I can't see any reasonable info about this driver and how to set it up.

ATM I have vesa driver (in my xorg.conf), it works, but 19 FPS is pretty low, I need something faster. With Poulsbo driver I got about 250 I think. I don't need 250 FPS, most of time I'm just doing software development, but I need something better than 19 ... so with uvesafb I can't use the "intel" driver for X? No "i810" or something similar?
