It sounds like you may be experiencing a different issue. On Ubuntu 8.10, at least, the intel driver works fine for all chipsets EXCEPT the three mentioned above. On those three, once compiz is disabled, the intel driver works fine again.

Work appears to be ongoing regarding finding a fix for running compiz on these specific problematic cards.
