Black screen with GMA 500 (driver psb)
Greetings.
I'm trying to install Arch Linux in an Asus eee T91, which has a Intel GMA 500 graphic card. But, this one is not a REAL intel, but a PowerVR. With VESA drivers I achived to have it working but, at 800x600. In order to cope with the problem I'm trying to use the psb driver, which is properly explained on this thread. But, unfortunately, after following the steps, everything I could do is to get a better resolution in shell tty, but still no working X.
After executing X, the screen gets black, and stays that way until it shuts down. (Sometimes I get the tasking bar at the left top of the screen if I execute X from the same PC). I made to see by ssh (method I use to reboot this PC) , that X works, but, after a few seconds, they stop working. The screen is still black, anyway, and keyboard doesn't work either after executing X.
[root@papyrus ~]# while [ 0 -le 1 ]; do ps -e | grep X; date ; done

Re: Black screen with GMA 500 (driver psb)
Driver is said to not work with Xorg server 1.7, see http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31995
There is new IEGD driver out there in the wild, but currently only in the form of some Ubuntu mega kernel patch. See http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1322 and support my request there with your own voice! So we can adopt IEGD driver to Arch Linux!
