This is still not working in 12.04 Beta 1 >.<, the poulsbo driver continues to be loaded and conflicts with the psb_gfx, and has to then be blacklisted.

Can you provide more information or a link to a bug report regarding "There were some concerns raised with the original solution of completely disabling the poulsbo driver." Specifically, what concerns? Everyone with a gma500 is blacklisting the module, so who is using the module and what for ?

In addition, if there is a problem with the poulsbo driver it should probably be reported upstream, to kernel.org (rather then some sort of work around in the module-init-tools).

I posted on the kernel.org mailing list on this problem (poulsbo conflicting with psb_gfx) before I filed this bug report, will try to find it.

My post to the Fedora mailing list - http://<email address hidden>/msg01244.html
No concerns were raised by the Fedora kernel team and my gma500 is working in the Fedroa 17 alpha release.

For now I filed a New bug report with bugzilla.kernel.org against the poulsbo / psb_gfx conflict
