Comment 15 for bug 669417

"I'm not sure whether we can support Poulsbo due to the drivers not providing the features that we need."

Poulsbo also is not being actively supported by its vendor any longer, and since its 3D component is closed source proprietary, that limits the support that can be done at the distro level. It's questionable how much general developer time is worth investing into issues related to this driver (although it could make sense for oem projects).

EMGD I gather requires xserver 1.8, which we did not package for any ubuntu release. There might be a PPA around with it. I'm not sure short of retrograding our xserver back to 1.8 that we can provide this driver for ubuntu. Hopefully this time Intel will actively support EMGD and put out a release for xserver 1.9 or 1.10 that we can use.
