Updated to A5 level with intel driver 2:2.8.1-1ubuntu1 which still fails with the same symptoms.
It does boot with xorg.conf:
Option "DRI" "0"
however video performance with benchmark GtkPerf was 95.6 seconds which is three times slower than 32.2 seconds with driver "vesa".
Then it hung while entering a launchpad comment.
So it's back to driver "vesa". Could that be default for i845 and i830?
