Hi Nikolaus,

To test the driver on my Poulsbo-based Asus Eee PC 1101HA, I have
followed these steps:

git clone git://git.goldelico.com/letux-kernel.git
git checkout -t origin/letux-5.9.y
make letux_defconfig
Set the CONFIG_SGX_POULSBO variable to y in .config
make
make bindeb-pkg

It printed some warnings at the end of the compilation process:

I installed Debian 10 on the Asus Eee PC. After that, I installed the
kernel and libc deb packages that were generated by bindeb-pkg.

I rebooted the machine into the new kernel, but it seems to be a
regression. The screen resolution is lower and the GUI is even slower.
Probably because it's not using the mainlined gma500 driver with 2D
acceleration anymore, but the other driver isn't working either.

If I am doing anything wrong, please let me know.

Regards,

Eloy
