@Jason I read the logs. The reason you are seeing this is that the machine is using the "Vesa" video driver and not the intel video driver. The revision of the intel chip may not be in the database of supported intel chips in 8.10. Could you try out a Jaunty Live CD and see if you get the expected results?
