I haven't logged in to double check this, but my guess is that lspci is located in /sbin/ or /usr/sbin, meaning that it is only available to the root (administrator) user, not available to the guest user.
Try this:
1) open a terminal
2) type 'su' (without the quotes) and press enter.
3) that will prompt you for a password -- type 'toor' (this is the default root password -- again, without the quotes) and press enter.
4) type 'lspci -k' and press enter.
Let us know if that works.

If pdellu's kernel, modules and instructions aren't working, I'm not really sure how to get the GMA500 running -- I know the release candidate for 32-bit version 1.1 should be out soon and will have an updated kernel, per brokenman's post above.
If you have followed pdellu's instructions, please give us the output of 'lspci -k', to check that the new psb_gfs driver is active and running, and we can start from there.

Re: [SOLVED] Asus EEEPC 1101 HaG and GMA500
Has this new driver been included in 1.1-rc1?
The reason I ask is that after using xconf to create an xorg.conf with fbdev as advised by fanthom I have the best video performance I have yet seen on on this aspire one 751h. Scrolling and desktop movement is smooth and youtube music/videos are as good as on my desktop. Mpg2 videos and avi's still fall over but they play much longer before falling out of sync or dropping frames but all in all this is a vast improvement, thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Asus EEEPC 1101 HaG and GMA500
Yes. During kernel compile i removed the stub driver for poulsbo and included the staging drivers instead after seeing this thread. Glad to hear it is working well for you. Sometimes a bleeding edge distro has benefits.
In your porteus.cfg file you could perhaps add the required code to run xconf at boot time.after using xconf to create an xorg.conf

@justwantin
glad that it worked.
i'm guessing that VESA driver is taking priority over fbdev when 'autoexec=xconf' is not used.
i need your help to confirm this.
please boot without 'autoexec=xconf' (and remove previously generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf) to LXDE and upload /ver/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin.com - give us a link to it.
Cheers

Re: [SOLVED] Asus EEEPC 1101 HaG and GMA500
I'm thinking problem was that the 32 bit v-1.1-rc1 iso did not set up after running lin-start-here.sh with xconf to run at boot. Sorry I'm not up to speed with how this all is working other than that.In your porteus.cfg file you could perhaps add the required code to run xconf at boot time.
I had been booting into porteus v-1.0 as a dual boot with salix on this machine. I just copied the kde stanza from the v-1.0 lilo.conf into salix lilo.conf and it worked. Of course that stanza had an append line that included xconf so all was fine.
The sane is true for v-1.1. I just put the v-1.1/ boot and /porteus directories into this machine after moving v-1.0 out of the way, ran lilo in salix and the graphics work fine with fbdev loaded and xorg.conf correct.
Yes, I believe this is correct. My xorg.conf was using vesa.i'm guessing that VESA driver is taking priority over fbdev when 'autoexec=xconf' is not used.
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vesa"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
That's where I was when fanthom advised to run xconf and I realised what was happening but I was running off a usb stick and didn't put it all together until I looked at the lilo.conf in the salix install.
Here's an Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/3JW9Lirz
....and if your interested here's the errors when I ran startx: http://pastebin.com/CcwEEuXT
fanthom, I tried to boot from the usb stick this morning into LXDE to do as you asked but there is no problem. Could it be that there has been a persistant change? and an xorg.conf with fbdev was saved? If I have time today I'll hose this stick and try to duplicate the problem.
Gotta go. no time to check for tyops.

Re: [SOLVED] Asus EEEPC 1101 HaG and GMA500
the problem is that xorg.conf should never be created in clean Porteus-1.1-rc1 as 'autoexec=xconf' is not enabled by default anymore.Yes, I believe this is correct. My xorg.conf was using vesa.
i guess that you have booted with 'VESA' option from the menu or this file comes from previous release.
not sure - depends on your setup.fanthom, I tried to boot from the usb stick this morning into LXDE to do as you asked but there is no problem. Could it be that there has been a persistant change? and an xorg.conf with fbdev was saved?
to make it clear:
please boot rc1 into text mode -> remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if present) -> please run 'xconf' and report which driver is listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
if fbdev, then everything should work "out of the box" even without 'autoexec=xconf' cheatcode.
if vesa then poulsbo users should edit xorg.conf (replace vesa with fbdev), save it in a module (or use /porteus/rootocpy) and also do not use 'autoexec=xconf'.

Re: [SOLVED] Asus EEEPC 1101 HaG and GMA500
OK, logged in text mode, no xorg.conf present, ran xconf, xorg.conf created with "fbdev" as the driver.
