12.04 was just released in April o0. I don't get why I would have to immediately jump to another kernel. Fedora 17 isn't out or it doesn't appear to be looking over the project page.
"WOW." is all I can say at this point. Just, "WOW." I know that DELL is the main culprit here, I get that their proprietary hardware and lack of support is what's at fault here but still..."WOW."
Because the problems you are experiencing with Ubuntu 12.04 are fixed in a new kernel. That is what new packages bring, bug fixes.
If you do not want to jump to a new kernel, use the grub options you were given.
But yes, both the gma500_gfx and the emgd require user intervention.
The gma500_gfx requires less effort and has less bugs.
Fedora 17 will be released in 2 weeks. You can download the RC if you like or wait 2 weeks.

FWIW - Staff sort of has had enough of the emgd and "holy wars" , and I have had enough of fixing broken emgd systems.
Last stable release from the gma500 team was Maverick , Ubuntu 10.10
https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/ppa
gma500 team labels the driver as "Experimental" or "Development" for ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10. There are no packages for 12.04.
Posts outside of the gma500 team are considered off topic and are no longer supported here.
If you disagree with this decision, you are free to add it to the FC agenda.
Please don't kill the messenger

If the gma500 team wish to contact the FC https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumCouncil
we would consider re-opening the thread.
Closed.
