Official Linux driver for Poulsbo Chipset

The Chipset US15W and the graphic chip accompanying it, GMA 500 perform pretty nicely under Windows 7 and Windows Vista, but they did not perform well under Linux (until now). If you are a guy that updates the repositories frequently in Ubuntu (v9.04), you will see a new package by the name of “poulsbo-driver-3D package”. Install it and restart your netbook. This will improve 2-D and 3-D capabilities of your netbook.

In case, for some reason, you are still unable to find it, I recommend you to visit the official repositories webpage and find “libdrm-poulsbo – 2.3.0-0ubuntu1~904um1″ package. From there, download the file “libdrm-poulsbo1_2.3.0-0ubuntu1~904um1_i386.deb” and run it on your Ubuntu-powered netbook.

Make sure you restart the computer to see the effects!
