Heya Jerry!

So here is the situation with i8xx.  In current natty it is known-
broken, and at this time is not considered one of our actively supported
hardware platforms (which means we are not going to work on bugs on this
hw any further.)

But there's some good news!  Upstream is actively working on 8xx bugs,
and has some kernel patches and other patches to enable the hardware
with the -intel driver.  Please see:

   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187

The upstream guys probably would really appreciate having participation
from a regular i8xx tester, as you've been here at Ubuntu, so I would
strongly encourage you to join the discussions upstream both on that bug
report, and also on the #intel-gfx IRC channel and/or mailing lists.

My hope is that once these patches get adequately tested and validated,
they'll get accepted upstream.  Once they've gone upstream we'll be able
to resume providing support for the 8xx hardware in Ubuntu.
