failure to remove poulsbo driver, X fails to start

maybe this thread is helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1229345.html

Thanks for the suggestion.

I followed the instructions to install the driver again, however when running the command

sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d psb-firmware

I get the same error that I was getting when trying to remove psb-kernel-headers

(Reading database ... 207946 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: error processing psb-kernel-headers (--remove):
 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 psb-kernel-headers

Any suggestions? Should I just remove them by hand? What exactly do I have to remove?

move to: gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status

Click on Search, rightcorner of the screen, and then Find and search for psb-kernel-headers
Delete it all then Save the file and then exit from gedit.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

any errors?

sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get upgrade
worked without errors.

However, I still was not able to boot with intel driver. When i915 is not in blacklist, X fails to start and I see 2 lines at the top of my screen.

Then instead of trying to make intel work and tried to install again the poulsbo drivers:

sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d psb-firmware

That ran without errors, however on start up (when i915 is in blacklist), I can only boot to safe mode. GDM has error:

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
 and start again.

Do you think its a config file error?
Should i915 be in blacklist? If its not, X still does not start at all and I see 2 lines at the top of the screen.

thank you for your help.
