Thought I'd add some more information as 11.04 is the first version
since 8.10 that has worked on this particular PC, so I am very grateful
to you developers for that.

The problem has been a 'whiteout' after installation, so while the
installer worked ok, but when rebooting for the first time I'd see the
splash screen, then the screen would fade to white with lots of thin
vertical white lines that take over the screen on top of blurry patterns
like you see when pressing an LCD display.  Very strange.

I seen to remember managing to fix 9.04 for a while by using the
previous version of the intel drivers (2.4?), as there were others with
i865 problems at the time and this fix was suggested. In the end just
went back to 8.10 for the performance.

With Natty, everything seems fine when logging in, the desktop loads but
the distortion around the clock is noticeable.  Almost like the bottom
third of the font is shifted horizontally.   Then after a few seconds
the Crash dialog appears and if I close it just comes back, I now just
move it out the way.   Occasionally artefacts will appear/disappear on
buttons, e.g. in synaptic, and as I mentioned, similar problems in
Libreoffice (which can be cured by a minimise/maximise if required)

Hope something in that helps you!
