Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop
Ubuntu Karmic should provide drivers for poulsbo platform, as it is common in netbooks, and because those netbooks aren't usable (because they are very, very slow) without this drivers. Some are provided into Fedora and for previous ubuntu releases (for Jaunty in some ppas it seems, and for previous releases in the default repositories) and maybe there are solutions in this way. I use a asus eeepc 1101HA, which is a pretty new netbook, it's a proof that "old" and "new" netbooks are built using poulsbo and should be supported.

Hi kalon33,
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
