I honestly don't know why Ubuntu MOTU wouldn't include something, from a previous release, that works in the current release. I often suspected politics as a LOT of the formal Ubuntu replies/comments are rather questionable (i.e. "Intel won't support the psb on Karmic", as if Intel would support a

@amichair: see port #44 in this thread for the installation steps. The author of that blog post is spot-on. I did a deep-dive of the source and it is a mess, mostly due to it's age. Linux DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) has changed a lot since the psb code was written... and at this point it's g

For Karmic (9.10) here is what I had to do (from http://mail.ale.org/pipermail/ale/2009-October/113618.html) The solution is to manually d/l and install this package: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver- xorg-video-psb/xserver-xorg-video-psb_0.31.0-0ubuntu1~904um
