Ok, I got passed the compiler errors by following the steps here:

http://developer.windriver.com/thread/1207

And in the error in iegd_interface_2624.c I moved the .mmap, .poll, and .fasync initialization above .unlocked_ioctl @ around 737.

So I’m able to compile, but when I loaded the kernel module using insmod I get a kernel panic.

I made sure to copy over the interface_abs.h from val/agpm0vmob2 to include/ . Did anyone successfully compile?

I am using the 945GSE chip supported by the IEGD drivers on
Ubuntu 9.10. Based on your excellent procedure all compiles and
installs fine. However… When I do ‘sudo modprobe iegd_mod’ I get
a black screen. I read elsewhere that this can be a problem with
xorg.conf. I tried the xorg.conf generated by CED but still a black
output. Did you use an xorg.conf? If so, could you show the
contents and what directory you put it in?

little addition, i forgot:
the kernels below 2.6.34 have a bug with uvesafb module.

So if you are using kernel 2.6.32 from unstable repository,
you have to add a additional kernel parameter (mem=1000M) in this way:

open /boot/grub/grub.cfg and edit:

menuentry ‘Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-686′ –class debian –class gnu-linux –class gnu –class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod jfs
set root=’(hd0,msdos5)’
echo ‘Loading Linux 2.6.32-686 …’
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-686 root=UUID=7aad1a21-7db6-4b80-a1ee-8b7e87a80120 mem=1000Mro quiet
echo ‘Loading initial ramdisk …’
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-686
}
### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###

little correction:
1. install the package called v86d

I’m sorry guys, but there is no need to install the iegd or poulsbo driver from ubuntu to get the native resolution.
I’d like to give a hint for debian users:
1. install the package called v96d
2. istall the package called xserver-xorg-video-fbdev
3. download a sourcecode from tool called “915resolution”, download the gma500 patch for this tool
4. apply patch to 915resolution
5. compile and install the patched 915resolution tool (it makes possible to replace resolution mode settings for gma500)
6. Modify the device section in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf as following:

Section “Device”
Option “IgnoreACPI” “1″
Identifier “Card0″
Driver “fbdev”
Option “UseFBDEV”
VendorName “Intel Corporation”
BoardName “System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller”
BusID “PCI:0:2:0″
EndSection

7. Make sure to execute following script before gnome desktop starts, to set resolution to 1366×768:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/915resolution 58 1366 768 32
modprobe uvesafb vbemode=0x011b nocrtc mtrr=2

8. Have fun with native resolution and quite good performance (in my case on eee pc 1101ha)

Any idea?

It is possible to build it under Debian sid with kernel 2.6.32-trunk-686 (linux-2.6.32-5-686 (20)) [iegd 10.3.1]

Additional point for the instructions above have to be added:
agp/drv_cmn.c:#define phys_to_gart(x) (x)
Xorg 1.6.5 works good
Videos in h262 are much better to see then under psb driver.

Would you please teach me that I can compile and install the driver on Ubuntu 9.10, but when I ran “modprobe iegd_mod” command, it always crash. Am I lose something when I compile driver? I have tried IEGD 10.2 & 10.3, and have the same question. Please teach me, thank you.
