After some days suffering around no 3D graphic acceleration and no way to play video in full screen mode, I finally to get the two functioning on my dell mini12 netbook.
Of course the basic start point is UNR 9.04. I have not tried moblin2.0 etc but I think moblin2.0 might also worthy tring. Almost all hardware on mini12 works for me now. That is the main reason that I stick on ubuntu but not switch back to fc10/fc11. And I am suspect that NIC/WIFI/BT will have problem on fc series. The biggest issue might be IEGD driver. Though I had source code (GPLv2 version) in hand(via psb-source package in UNR9.04), I still have less motivation to try to port it to lastest kernel. So, I think I might need to stay on 2.6.28 for a quite while. :-)
Finally, the steps of getting all stuff together is fairly simple:
- Add relative source to apt repo. I suppose there are two valuable repo for mini12:
deb jaunty main
deb-src jaunty main
deb jaunty main
deb-src jaunty main
- Try to search all packages that relate to 'psb'. Eg,
$ apt-cache search psb
psutils - A collection of PostScript document handling utilities
garmin-forerunner-tools - retrieve data from Garmin Forerunner/Edge GPS devices
gebabbel - GPS file conversion and transfer from/to GPS units
gpsbabel - GPS file conversion plus transfer to/from GPS units
impose+ - Postscript utilities for two-up printing, bbox, etc
page-crunch - GUI/frontend to psutils programs, like psnup, psbook
xserver-xorg-video-psb - X.Org X server -- Intel Poulsbo (2D)
psb-firmware - Binary firmware for the Poulsbo (psb) 3D X11 driver
psb-modules - Kernel module built for -generic or -lpia kernel
psb-kernel-source - Kernel module for the Poulsbo (psb) 2D X11 driver
psb-kernel-headers - Kernel module headers for the Poulsbo (psb) 2D X11 driver
xpsb-glx - X11 drivers for Poulsbo (psb) 3D acceleration
poulsbo-driver-3d - Metapackage for the 3D Poulsbo (psb) X11 driver.
poulsbo-driver-2d - Metapackage for the 2D Poulsbo (psb) X11 driver.

So I won't bothering to explain what is needed. Haha.
- Get mplayer built via a package named as 'mplayer-vaapi-
.tar.bz2'. Basically there a script 'checkout-patch-build.sh' in the bzip'd tarball. Just run the script will give you a mplayer with 'valib' supported. That means we'll got the mplayer make use of hardware video decoding unit that provided by paulso chipset. Of course I assume the networking connection is not the problem.
The glxgears report 246~351 FPS for me. And I have to say, get full screen video working is really good.
The last thing is, seems dell mini12 have less linux users in P.R.C. That is the primary reason for write this notes in English.
Hope it helps.
Have fun.
