I tried the iso image, and it *does* work.  I looked at the logfiles,
and it appears that the only difference is that the exa module on my
system is compiled for an older version of X.  The question is where
this module is coming from -- is it something leftover from a previous
install, and if so, why isn't it replaced by one of the x or psb
packages?

Looking in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/, it is clear that this is the problem,
since the modification time of libexa.so is from 2010-04-29, and for
libexa.so.xserver-xorg-video-psb it is recent.

Supposedly the xserver-xorg-core package provides the libexa.so
library...  I tried reinstalling xserver-xorg-core, but it doesn't
change the modification time / size of libexa.so at all (size is 63268
bytes) -- however, in the package itself the mtime of libexa is
2010-07-21.  So I guess that apt isn't overwriting/replacing libexa
(permissions on libexa are normal, so that's not the problem).
Hopefully that helps some in coming up with a solution.  (of course I
can just manually replace libexa and it should work, but it would be
better to have a solution which works for users who may have also gotten
their system into a similar state, and don't know what to do about it).

X fails to load psb module on Lucid

Bug description:
On a Dell Mini 12 machine with Lucid installed on it, and following the instructions in the wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/), I am unable to get X to load.  From the logfile, it seems that loading the 'exa' module fails -- it says there's an ABI mismatch.

Prior to following the wiki instructions, I made sure that the kernel headers were installed, and purged all poulsbo related packages.

The Xorg logfile is attached.
