Intel's Poulsbo Driver A Bloody Mess?

What a surprise when they explained that this Poulsbo driver is actually for hardware from ImgTec, aka PowerVR.
strangely - unless i missed it - there is no connection made with this other article:

yes, this is what I referred to earlier in this thread (I think, it's been going on a long time).

there has been a build with the IVI drivers, but there was a bug, they fixed the bug, but didn't make a release of the build for people to download. sigh.

--edit--

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupp...eoCardsPoulsbo

if yr a real sucker for punishment, there's a 131 page forum thread about getting the driver into 10.04 on that page, which takes you here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229345


this is why my U820 which triple-booted ubuntu 10.04, moblin/meego and windows 7 spends most of its life booting windows7 ;-(

That has to be some of the ugliest stuff I've ever read about a driver... wow.

Unfortunately is's about par for the course across most of the industry. Latest incarnation: Qualcomm's snapdragon driver. Nice to see airlied drawing a line though.

And this awful move is interpreted as a proof of "Android's openness" to slashdot users... The N900 already uses a crappy but open kernel driver and closed userspace.
