Unfortunately, not in intrepid; it was in included in the Ubuntu MID image for hardy, but the poulsbo (psb) drivers weren't ported to the 2.6.26/.27 kernels. There's close to no hope of getting them in before intrepid as it would still mean kernel work, libdrm patches which we don't quite know how to handle without destroying support for the other drivers, and a xserver-xorg-video-psb update. If we get drivers from upstream after the intrepid release, it's unlikely we will be able to add them to intrepid, so it's not clear whether these will ever be supported in intrepid. We hope the drivers will make it in the jaunty development lifecycle, or simply in the upstream kernel. > I'm trying to boot the ubuntu-mobile testing image but the xorg psb > driver fails to load the kernel psb driver and complains.

Right, we need to disable xorg's support for psb; the driver's package is already removed from the dailies. What should work though is vesa; failsafe xorg should offer vesa to you as a fallback.
