Is the driver in better shape than it was in January? http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/01/30/intel-gma-500-poulsbo-graphics-on-linux-a-precise-and-comprehensive-summary-as-to-why-youre-screwed/ Ubuntu even requested to have it removed from their archive because it was obsolete and broken: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-psb/0.2.1-1ubuntu3 I'm not sure if this is something that would be wanted in the archive unless support has improved (which is a legitimate possibility, given that Dell purports to support this chipset in the Mini 12).
