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_0.31.0-0ubuntu1~904um1_i386.deb

then add this software source:

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucazade/gma500/ubuntu karmic main

and then add Lucazade's key:

    apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6699F3D9

then

    apt-get update
    apt-get install psb-firmware psb-kernel-headers psb-kernel-source
xpsb-glx libdrm-poulsbo1 poulsbo-config

and then set your xorg.conf to this:

-------------------------------------------------------
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Option          "IgnoreACPI"
        Option          "AccelMethod" "exa"
        Option          "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
        Option          "NoDDC"
        Driver 		"psb"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
    Mode    0666
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

#Added for mouse pad
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
        Option      "CorePointer"
        Option      "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
EndSection
-------------------------------------------------------

Now if you look at the launchpad page for that software source
(https://launchpad.net/~lucazade/+archive/gma500) you will see that
the required xserver-xorg-video-psb package failed to build 3 weeks
ago.   Dig around a bit and you will see that the build error is a
very minor "unable to rm -f a *directory*" which is why the needed
package isn't in the PPA.  <sigh>
