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This means, unleass you run a really outdated system this driver is useless for Arch-Linux.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