X11 support for GMA3560 (powerVR?) on Atom NM10 chipset ??

Hey everyone,

I just brought a DN2800mt back to life, only to realize that there doesn't seem to be 2d/3d acceleration support for it.

to summarise:
- R8 32bit LXDE is running and everything is OK.  :)
- X11 is OK to boot with graphical interface, but Xrandr shows a 'default'  value with no hardware info.
- HDMI is OK to auto-detect.
- VGA output is OK but with the 'default' resolution irrespective of resolution of the plugged monitor.
- Video acceleration is (expectedly?) NOK, video up to 320p is playable but with CPU at 100%.
- The machine is an Intel Desktop board DN2800mt (Cedarview), NM10 Chipset, with GMA 3560 on-board graphics (rebrand of  PowerVR SGX 545)

I read through posts on forum for other distros and essentially there doesn't seem to be any consensus if this has or hasn't got a solution.

Any thoughts, advice, solutions?

Thank you in advance!

Anyone with similar experience? should I take it to Xorg?

BiffBaxter will be the best to answer this post. However due to his work and flights he has to make during the week, he is lagged on logging in here.


If you can bear with this thread for a bit, he should be able to help

Greetings cheiron! Thanks for making this clear, I completely understand.

Hi all...Quick response on this...I do not have the hardware to validate this, but read the thread below as it may help you find a solution.

Very similar to the experience we had with the Poulsbo chipset a couple years back that we eventually worked around.
