Hi, sorry you had trouble getting Ubuntu working on your 8xx chip.  I'd
like to have you re-test against natty and if it's still not working
right, please file a bug upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org against Xorg /
Intel.

The intel driver seems to not get tested well against the 8xx chips and
we've seen lots of regressions and mis-features.  Unfortunately the
driver code seems to be rather fragile as well, so we've found we cannot
effectively patch and maintain the driver at the distro level, and thus
are no longer providing development support, nor will be backporting
fixes to older Ubuntu releases.  You may still be able to get some
technical support from places like http://askubuntu.com and similar to
work around problems.
