Intel GMA3600 (简体中文)

Intel GMA3600是基于PowerVR SGX 545显示核心的集成显卡，搭载于Atom N2600和Atom N2800中。

Installation

Intel发布过GMA3600的驱动，但安装起来比较繁琐。详情可以参考：https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144445 如果对显卡的需求仅限于正常启动X，只需安装xf86-video-modesetting。

pacman -S xf86-video-modesetting

注意: 安装xf86-video-intel无效。

News

Intel release a graphics driver for PowerVR: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21938

Be aware: The current version 1.03 (10/01/2012) has the following dependencies:

Bundle "Ant"

* Kernel: 3.0.0
* Mesa GL: 7.9
* Xorg: 1.9

Bundle "Bee"

* Kernel: 3.1.0
* Mesa GL: 7.11
* Xorg: 1.11

This means, unleass you run a really outdated system this driver is useless for Arch-Linux.

Kernel module driver

Kernel has an experimental support for this adapter since v3.3. Since Kernel v3.5 the GMA3600 power features are supported. Now suspend/resume should properly work.

If after resume you got a blank screen try the following

sudo touch /etc/pm/sleep.d/99video

Xorg driver

At the moment there is no appropriate driver for Xorg Server, but you can get basic support by VESA or FrameBuffer video driver (fbdev):

pacman -S xf86-video-fbdev

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
   Identifier             "Intel GMA3600"
   Driver                 "fbdev"
EndSection

Playing video

It is unable to utilize whole chip power and play fullHD movies using graphics acceleration. As workaround you could utilize the maximum power of your Atom CPU to decode video:

mplayer -lavdopts threads=4 -fs myvideo.avi
