Hi Tormod,
Thanks for your follow-up, I appreciate it very much.  I'd be happy to blow the dust off
my HP Brio and try either or both 10.10 or Natty, if you feel it's likely to help others.
I've abandoned this PC (indeed I would have dismantled and scrapped it, except
that I felt I should hang onto it in case it helped).

I've become aware that focussing on this problem may be taking resources away
from other bug fixing.  As you say, support for these very old cards can't be top
of the list.  The question in my mind is whether there are still people out there
for whom support for this card is important.  Realistically, I suspect their best
option is to add a cheap PCI video card and disable the onboard Matrox.
