[Bug 330906] Re: MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04)

 

I have zero lags.  The psb driver (sans the packaging/distribution mess)
works perfectly.   I don't see any need for Intel to formally support
the psb driver on Karmic as long as they just support the driver in
general.  Did Atheros support the Hardy wireless driver of years past?
This whole psb mess has given me a bad feeling about Ubuntu.  Again, the
driver works, it's the packaging/distribution/politics that suck.  Shame
on Ubuntu if they don't support this in Karmic as the Poulsbo chipset is
probably the most important thing for Ubuntu to pay attention to.  There
are now hundreds of thousands of inexpensive (cheaper than an iPhone!)
netbooks hitting the market with the Poulsbo chipset.  Most of those are
going to go to college, and other, students who will be eager to try
*any* Linux distro on them.   If it works on Gentoo, then they will
stick with Gentoo.   <- Marc S, Pete G, you reading this?
