I'm simply saying that it is entirely untestable on my machine, because
just running the packages in that repository on that hardware made me
think my monitor was about to blow its tube.

isn't it possible to get the old Intrepid driver working with Lucid's X
version, or has it changed too much? That driver seemed to work in
Karmic. I believe I was using xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 from
https://launchpad.net/~siretart/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=jaunty
back when I had Jaunty. If I'm not mixing the two up in my mind. It's
been a while.

(I would gladly just use vesa on this machine and be done with it, but
the driver doesn't support above 640x480 at 16-bit color. Which I might
actually be willing to try to use if the Ubuntu interface weren't
designed with the idea of "nobody would ever run anything at 640x480
ever again" in mind. If anyone could get me working at at least 800x600,
that would at least get me past the point of trying to decide between
crash-modes that try to fry my screen or crash-modes that force me to
hard-reboot the machine.)
