I'm trying to get Oneric running on this system. Running a freshly downloaded Oneric from live usb doesn't work because X won't start (open /dev/fb0 fails, then no screens found). If I 'rmmod poulsbo' from the cli, X subsequently will start, but it uses VESA.
X should start out of the box. Preferably using something better than vesa.
(some more background: I also have an 11.04 upgraded to 11.10 on this system, in 11.04 everything worked thanks to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsboAlternatives, but after the upgrade that failed.)

This problem is no longer present in ubuntu 13.10, both the live usb environment and a fresh installation work.
