Today I made the mistake of upgrading my girlfriends LinuxMint on her Dell mini 10. After a new kernel was installed the video went to shit. It uses the Intel GMA500 “Poulsbo” video hardware.
I thought it would improve performance to do the entire upgrade like this one here. However the upgrade just made everything shitty. Soon after the upgrade I attempted to playback a nice big video with mplayer and I got a shitty choppy playback and a shitty black flickering bar towards the lower part of the playback. So, I googled for a few hours only to find a ton of others bitching about this driver and how much Intel sucks for this. After readin about all i could fucking stand about the psb driver, one of my old i810 video tips came to mind. Appending “mem=” to your kernel boot line to specify how much memory the kernel uses, Leaving some for the video system.
In your grub/menu.lst find your kernel line:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splash
Add “mem=SOMETHING LESS THAN YOUR ACTUAL MEMORY”
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splash mem=1000mb
Her mini 10 only has a gig of memory so I am using “mem=1000″, thats in Megabytes and there is 1024 of them in a Gig of ram so this should leave me 24MB’s for video.. if it needs it.
Wouldn’t ya know it, It worked. 
Hope this stupid post helps somebody out. Please share your comments.

A few years ago I kicked around the idea of a Steamboat Springs Linux Users Group. The domain I purchased for this project has sat quite dormant until just recently, some other Linux users in the Steamboat area have shown some interest. So, here it is.. finally.. The Steamboat Springs Linux Users Group. If you a Steamboat Springs local and a Linux geek also. please visit and create your login.
