Please see this comment "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." From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/899244 The stub driver is on track to get removed, marking as fixed. |
