Well, the PPA works, in KMS mode, and dpkg says it is
xserver-xorg-video-intel      2:2.8.0-0ubuntu2~bug382017~1

however it isn't any faster than 2:2.799 for example compare to vesa
nomodeset on the same karmic and same i845 hardware:

That's PPA 39% slower than vesa.

vesa is about the same speed as jaunty default xorg.

I did an A2 install and put the PPA on.  It is a 2.8.0, and It does boot
on A2, whereas 2.8.0 does not boot on A3 on i830 or i845.

The PPA didn't boot on A3 either.  A bit of a sweat for me at my level
of experience to install a PPA from recovery mode root prompt since A3
gnome desktop hangs bug #406460.

I tried copying intel driver 2.7.99 on  A3 however this was no help.
Maybe  I need to install it if I knew how.

Thanks for the PPA, Jerry
