FYI

Installed Fedora 13, Kernel 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 on my Let's note Panasonic CF-W2 with Int(h)el(l) i855 GPU.
It installed without a glitch (live CD) and runs like a Swiss watch.
Not to mention among other things: there is no Mono crap, default UID is 002 (vs Debian Ubuntu 022), the distro is very polished, a lot less eye candy. An overall nice and unexpected surprise.

The latest Ubuntu releases have been a disappointment and a very bad experience on my hardware (3 older notebooks). Fedora 13 on the same hardware run fine. This might be different with a recent hardware, but for those annoyed with the grub2, kernel boot settings, ppa kernel to install, etc... simply install a distribution, you might want to give the Fedora 13 live CD a try.
