IEGD drivers for Intel GMA 500 working

English Hardware
1

Hi,

I made a kernel module package for opensuse 11.2, kernel 2.6.31-12 (latest update at time of writing).
It supports opengl (glxgears has 2000 frames in 5 s), 2D is faster than by using vesa only. But compiz/kwin effects dont work. Open Arena works but is not as fast as under windows xp. I think its a xorg.conf issue. Any help appreciated.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/vlj:/IEGD/standard/i586/IEGD-10.3-8.1.i586.rpm

The second package enables opengl acceleration.

Did I understand correct? The only possible way with notebooks with GMA 500 to get it work is to install drivers from this site?
Intel GMA500 (Poulsbo) drivers for OpenSUSE 11.2

I have installed them by cannot choose my native resolution in system settings-> monitor (or so).

What should I do to get my native resolution and where there will be out of the box support of GMA 500 (good support) in openSuse?

Thank you)
