$ lspci -v|grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
I am using Kubuntu natty since a while now, and I never had a problem
whatsoever.

Title:
Btw, this makes me wonder why we did not keep the old i810 driver
around. Given that we have support for xserver-xorg-video-s3 with cards
like Trio64 it seems like keeping old drivers working is possible
without too much maintenance work (but I may be totally wrong here ;).
And the old i810 driver
From the intel_driver.h it appears the relevant PCIIDs are (8086 for the
vendor):
#ifndef PCI_CHIP_I810
#define PCI_CHIP_I810 0x7121
#define PCI_CHIP_I810_DC1000x7123
#define PCI_CHIP_I810_E0x7125
#define PCI_CHIP_I815 0x1132
#define
How about a text like this:
[WARNING]
Your graphics hardware may not be fully supported in Ubuntu 11.04.
The support for your graphics hardware is limited and you may encounter
problems after the upgrade. Do you want to continue with the upgrade? [yes] [no]

Despite the sarcasm, a warning message is not a bad idea. Would save us
maintainers from having to continually WONTFIX these types of bug
reports.

[Problem]
Support for 8xx chipsets is dodgy at best, due to insufficient upstream
testing/development/priorities. Users frequently experience regressions and
problems, which they find annoying.
For distro maintenance, we typically prioritize development work
Anyway, I don't know whether the update-manager folks might consider 8xx
checks to just be cluttering things up; I'll leave it to them to decide.
