This could possibly be duplicate of Bug #157213. The problem is that this was fixed after current Ubuntu Hardy Alpha5 release but there is a possible workaround to test it anyway without installing Hardy. Download the Live CD http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-5/hardy-desktop-i386.iso and boot it. Configure internet and afterwards download the latest Intel driver http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.2.1-1ubuntu2_i386.deb. Just open and install it after download and restart X with ctrl + alt + backspace. After restart it should work fine otherwise it is no duplicate.
The last procedure of course isn't needed if the Alpha 5 Live CD works fine out of the box.
