debian squeeze maybe wheezy?

Post by kroonen »

Hi,

I bought an joggler, and it's a very nice device.

I Like the images build, but now I want to put debian squeeze or wheezy on it.

I followed the instructions on http://[please don't link to the fake wiki]/index.php?title ... an_Squeeze

With some modifiactions of locations of the patches, it works.

So now I thought update the kernel, and use the patches of jools willshe used for the kernel of ubuntu.

Than I have some issues: I see about a while ago, the iegd drivers, what uses the debian squeeze image. The new kernel patches uses the EMGD drivers.

So thinking about that, was hoping to compile the the drivers for debian sqeeuze, but looking in a the debian wikis it said this:

http://wiki.debian.org/IntelEmbeddedMediaGraphicsDriver

You should use driver 1.5.2 but this isn't available any more on intel site :evil:

I also read there is a stable Open-Source Intel GMA 500 Driver in kernel 3.4. Is this a driver that will work, or does Xserver als be updated?

Any idea how to get a newer kernel on debian sqeeuze with a vide card driver for X?

the easiest thing would be to use the ubuntu base image. ok so it isn't debian, but it's not that far off - and you can customise from there.

3.4 has the open source driver but I've not tested it. 2d acceleration only.

btw you are looking at the wrong wiki - I have forbidden the fake wiki url but the actual wiki is on this domain and the link is at the top of the forum.

Do you have maybe the old intel emgd drvier 1.5.2? this one shoud build in squeeze
