I'm not too familiar with Ubuntu. It's a Debian package that makes using 
the i810 Xorg driver easier with numerous Intel chip sets (I never have 
to mess with modelines).

Good luck. I'm sure you have all the time in the world, but it might be 
interesting to run Dapper, or the latest Debian on that box. If Dapper 
works and Debian doesn't, it's an Xorg issue. If Debian works, it's an 
Ubuntu configuration issue with Edgy.
