I'm having the very same problems. Tried removing the Poulsbo driver, reconfiguring to use standard vesa, couldn't get anything to work. Have just done a fresh install into a VM and once I reboot after installing the Poulsbo driver the issue raises it's head again.
Googled till I was blue in the face and still can't find a solution.
All suggestions welcome, really don't want to have my netbook as a dedicated windows machine
