** Tags added: apport-collected oneiric ubuntu unity-2d

** Description changed:

  I'm using the Ubuntu 11.10 Daily LiveCD from 21 Jul 2011.
  
  I'm on a Asus EeePC T91MT.
  
  The Intel GMA500 has always been problematic with Intel basically
  refusing to support it, however in the past it did at least start on
  older Ubuntu versions (although in an incorrect resolution and normally
  required quite a bit of screwing around with drivers to get something
  decent running).
  
  The new 3.0 kernel (and 2.6.39) now has some built in psb-gfx drivers
  for the chipset, they don't support hardware acceleration but should
  give ok normal 2D graphics.
  
  On boot, I get stuck at a terminal. The terminal flashes black
  continuously until I 'sudo stop lightdm' (LightDM seems to fail to
  detect that it's broken and just keeps trying to start, but that's
  probably a different bug).
  
  I notice in the Xorg.log there is a "vesa: Ignoring device with a bound
  kernel driver".
  
  There is a kernel module 'poulsbo' loaded.
  
  If it 'rmmod poulsbo' and then 'sudo start lightdm' then xorg starts
  correctly.
  
- My best guess is xorg isn't correctly configured to use the new psb-gfx
- drivers.
