The examples below will feature 1366x768, but be sure to change it to the actual resolution of your screen. Some people find they need to disable the splash.Д®ssentially the same as above, just remove splash from the GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT options.ДЇirst, you need to know what your desired resolution is.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash console=tty1'.Perhaps the easiest method is to use 'console=tty1' as a boot option.ДЇind the following line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash'ДЄdd console=tty1 in between the quotes, the end result looking as follows There are several potential solutions: console=tty1, disable splash, or 915 Resolution With the default settings, Ubuntu 12.04 boots to either a black screen or or top half screen. No workarounds should be required, however, upgrading from 12.04 is not recommended because of general UI sluggishness. That should bring you back to a functional graphical desktop, so that you can proceed testing or installing. Restart X with 'sudo service lightdm restart'.Without that option, you will either get a black screen or distortions, such as top half of the screen only. The default Ubuntu 12.04 kernel works, but requires a custom boot option. The gma500_gfx does not (yet) support 3d graphics and it is unclear if it will in the future.

Supported drivers for ubuntu driver#

Starting with kernel 3.3.4, the gma500_gfx driver works without adding any boot options. With kernel 2.6.39, a new psb_gfx module appeared in the kernel source developed by Alan Cox to support Poulsbo hardware.ДЄs of kernel 3.3.rc1 the driver has left staging and been renamed gma500_gfx and is thus the default, supported driver for Ubuntu 12.04 and higher. There are several drivers, but all lack certain basic features, such as future and current maintenance or support for suspend and hardware acceleration.Д¬urrently, the best supported driver for Ubuntu is gma500_gfx.ДЇor obsolete and unsupported drivers see GMA500 Obsolete Drivers Unfortunately the support for this hardware is extremely limited on Linux. This page details support for the Intel GMA500 'Poulsbo' video hardware with Ubuntu 12.04 and higher. Have xrandr (multi-screen, color management) work correctly.
