The poulsbo driver is just a stub module that enables the acpi video support for the panel brightness.
This feature is already present inside the psb_gfx driver.

The poulsbo module is loaded before the psb_gfx 'stealing' the pciid and not allowing the psb_gfx module
to start up and open the framebuffer. that's why there is a conflict.

I don't see any reason to preserve the stub poulsbo, psb_gfx already provides brightness support for every
gma500/600 device. Is not useful also for the EMGD binary drivers provided by Intel.
