Mandriva EEEPC1201HA

[Guest]

Hello,

I want to install Mandriva on my Asus 1201HA netbook, but i cant find the drivers for my GMA500 chipset.

Can anyone help?

Intel has had a long history of producing or commissioning open source drivers for its graphics chips, with all chipsets (except the GMA 500) dating back to the i810 having open 2D and 3D drivers for Linux. Intel is the only major graphics hardware vendor to do so. (For an analysis by company see Graphics hardware and FOSS.)

It appears you may be out of luck.

If there's any solutions out there, I didn't find them in my brief Google search. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
