Sorry, in my description above there is an important point missing: 
It is necessery to add "i915.modeset=1" as a further kernel parameter after 
"splash" (in the Grub2-line which starts with linux /boot/vmlinuz...) This 
starts the graphic driver for intel graphic devices.
Again, one should add this to the /boot/grub/grub.cfg - file...

Here is the corresponding part of my own grub.cfg-file:

menuentry 'Ubuntu, mit Linux 2.6.38-8-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux 
--class gnu --class os {
        recordfail      
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext2
        set root='(/dev/sda,msdos5)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2bb691c9-...
        linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=2bb691c9... ro   quiet 
splash i915.modeset=1 vt.handoff=7
        initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
}
menuentry 'Ubuntu, mit Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (Recovery Mode)' --class ubuntu 
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        recordfail
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext2
        set root='(/dev/sda,msdos5)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2bb691c9-...
        echo    'Loading Linux 2.6.38-8-generic ...'
        linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=2bb691c9... ro single 
        echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
        initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
}
