Just another data point. My 1000he w/945 chipset streams Hulu just fine
using Firefox and Flash.

Hi,
Simos: Thank you for the information you provided for Poulsbo.
When I try to stream videos from hulu.com, I get the same error even on the
945GC chipset. Is hardware acceleration for graphics not supported on this
chipset either?
Hi Meghana,
The 945GC chipset should be supported, and I suppose that hardware
acceleration is configured on your system.
I do not have such a system so that I could duplicate, nor have I
access to hulu.com (since recently it's US only).
Someone else should be able to help you more on this.
What I can add from reading netbook forums is that the Flash plugin
(closed-source) may have performance
issues when playing HD video content. Users mentioned that playing the
same content using VLC or Mplayer,
they managed to view them properly. There are methods that one can use
to download HD video content and play them
locally. Therefore, I would suggest to attempt to verify whether
native video players (such as VLC and MPlayer)
are in a position to play HD video content for your system.
I hope this helps,
Simos

Hi,
I am running the Moblin Beta (moblin-netbook-ux-bets-20090518-004 ) on the Atom
single core / Poulsbo platform and below is a list of problems I am seeing.
1: The total boot time is 50 s
2: Application failure on boot up: /usr/libexec/notification-daemon,
/usr/bin/metacity, /usr/bin/Xorg,
3: Sometimes the browser window does not open up (inconsistent behavior).
4: Takes between 15 - 26s to respond to a keystroke or mouse click.
5: Installed Flash plugin-10.0.22.87 : But videos from hulu.com and joox.com do
not stream. Error screenshot attached. I have also raised a bug for this (Bug
3149). I had raised this topic on the mailing list earlier while testing on the
Atom Dual core, but the same problem exists on the single core too. Any hints
on what could be causing this problem?
I would like to know if anyone else is facing the same problems with the
mentioned platform.
Are there any drivers that are missing?
Are there separate version of the Moblin image for testing on MIDs and netbooks?
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Hi Meghana,
As Greg mentioned, Poulsbo is not currently supported.
Without hardware acceleration for graphics, Flash shows you that
specific message.
The background to the story is that, unlike other Intel graphics cards
that have excellent
Linux support, the graphics card that comes with Poulsbo is quite
different which requires extra work
to make an open-source driver. From previous messages in this list, it
appears that Intel is working
on creating an open-source graphics driver for Poulsbo and may appear
in the future.
A temporary workaround for some people is to use a special binary
(closed-source) graphics driver for Poulsbo,
that first appeared with Ubuntu 8.04 and netbooks that shipped with
that special version of Ubuntu.
If you check the archives of this mailing list (May 2009), you can
find some information on how to install
this closed-source driver.
Finally, you might want to contact the Intel customer care website and
mention that you are looking forward
to seeing the open-source graphics driver for Poulsbo, and ask when it
will be available.
I hope this helps,
Simos
