I did try xf86-video-modesetting, a > few minutes ago and it does not support X Windows on my machine. The in-kernel GMA500 driver is being used with xf86-video-modesetting and it has some advantages over xf86-video-fbdev (like xrandr 1.2 so you can configure the resolution of your external monitor). I have seen occasional reports from users that the modesetting driver fails to detect the Poulsbo graphics, but due to lack of hardware I could not investigate further. If the modesetting driver does not work for you, then it would be a good idea to report a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and include the relevant logs.
