"I'm not sure whether we can support Poulsbo due to the drivers not
providing the features that we need."

Poulsbo also is not being actively supported by its vendor any longer,
and since its 3D component is closed source proprietary, that limits the
support that can be done at the distro level.  It's questionable how
much general developer time is worth investing into issues related to
this driver (although it could make sense for oem projects).

EMGD I gather requires xserver 1.8, which we did not package for any
ubuntu release.  There might be a PPA around with it.  I'm not sure
short of retrograding our xserver back to 1.8 that we can provide this
driver for ubuntu.  Hopefully this time Intel will actively support EMGD
and put out a release for xserver 1.9 or 1.10 that we can use.
