Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Please disclude xserver-xorg-video-psb from xserver-xorg-video-all

The current xserver-xorg-video-psb FTBFS and fails to load in the current X. As a result, devices with Poulsbo graphics are only capable of loading X in the absence of this package. It ought not be installed by default. If later fixed in SRU, it could be restored to -all, or left as a manual install option.

In basic testing, the vesa driver seems to work sufficiently on Poulsbo hardware.

This bug was fixed in the package xorg - 1:7.4~2ubuntu5

---------------
xorg (1:7.4~2ubuntu5) intrepid; urgency=low

  [ Bryce Harrington ]
  * local/Failsafe/failsafeXinit:
    - Add option to run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode one time
    - Add default radio button settings

  [ Loic Minier ]
  * Drop xserver-xorg-video-psb for now as it's broken with intrepid's kernel
    and vesa should be preferred; LP: #274833.

I just tried with my kohjinsha SC3. It is running on poulsbo hardware and X is crashing with "No screen found" or "Can't load module psb, no drivers found".
I suppose not all harware are supported with the vesa driver.
