@jimpop, this is not a place to vent your frustration.  Would we have
received a suitable driver for the current kernels, we'd have uploaded
it in the ~ubuntu-mobile PPA or even to Ubuntu as we did for the
previous versions.

Intel has top quality drivers for its other chipsets, but not for
Poulsbo due to a complex IP issues.  This is not in our control to fix
for them, and we don't have the resources to reverse engineer or forward
port the existing kernel bits (these were even rejected from staging in
the upstream linux kernel).

If you're aware of a forward ported or reverse engineered driver which
we could include, then this is the right place to mention it.  I think
it's too late for the 9.10 release, but it could be prepared in a PPA or
considered for 10.04.


(Note that the recipes in this bug only apply to the xorg video driver but don't cover the kernel counterparts which are needed for psb-drm and hence 2D and 3D acceleration.)

MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04)
