So it looks like the missing piece was in the kernel. This card has to allocate
all it's memory via AGP. The intrepid kernel was missing AGP support:

Ensure that you are using the patched intel driver:
https://edge.launchpad.net/%7Ejerone/+archive/ppa/+files/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.4.1-1ubuntu10.5~test1_i386.deb
And then install the kernel I linked to (this is the Jaunty kernel that
has the support):
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic_2.6.28-11.41_i386.deb
If this experiment works then we will try and get an Intrepid kernel
with the proper support built into it.
