Re: how to use new graphics drivers in unr
it won't work as there will be an xserver version mismatch. Why not just upgrade to the latest ubuntu? if you like the interface of netbook remix, you can get that working my current ubuntu natty images.danfoshizzle wrote:could anyone explain how to incorporate the graphics drivers in buzz's newest builds into ubuntu netbook remix?

as for modifying another distro, you need a new kernel with some changes for stuff to work right on the joggler (I link to some patches from my site), you then need to install and match the version of X and emgd. need to handle the fact eth0 doesnt have a mac address with some script or hardcode it. plus fixes and workaround for various other things. I usually start with an install on virtualbox, then rsync it to a usb stick and start from there.

Re: how to use new graphics drivers in unr
cheers buzz always fancied having a go at something like this, i mean i already build customized versions of winpe for rescue/collection purposes but this is a whole new ball game, think i may have a go at trying out another distro.

i rsync the filesystem and construct an image from that using losetup and /dev/loopx devices. Some of my scripts are heredanfoshizzle wrote:how would i go about converting the vm to a pyhsical os on the usb?

also some filesystem overlay stuff for ubuntu is here http://joggler.exotica.org.uk/source/overlay/ although it's a bit out of date. other stuff is in that folder too such as kernel patches.

Re: how to use new graphics drivers in unr
I have not used Ubuntu on the Joggler since the original, what sort of performance increase does this new graphics driver bring?
Re: how to use new graphics drivers in unr
Works extremely well for me, but the hardware acceleration (VA-API) of H.264 content is absolutely amazing. The Joggler can play back 1080p H.264 video through the graphics chip perfectly (not that 1080p is necessary on a 800x480 screen, but there you go!).
I don't have the link to hand for BuZz's VA-API binaries, but I'm sure he can point you in the right direction!
