I managed to figure out to update my drivers via the git sources.

But, now I'm a little confused:

I have now tested UT with the following 3 drivers:

i810  1.7.4
intel 2.0.0
intel git (06/14/07)

My laptop display is 1280x800.

With i810, UT played fine, full screen or windowed.  When playing full 
screen at say 640x480, the games window was simply centered on a black 
background.

With intel 2.0.0, UT would only play full screen at 1280x800.  Any other 
full screen resolution locked up the machine and needed a hard reboot. 
Trying to start UT windowed always killed the machine as well.

With intel git, UT plays full screen and windowed.  Except this time, if 
played full screen, at a resolution less than 1280x800, the lower 
resolution graphics are stretched to cover the entire screen?

Is this scaling expected?  Or should I expect the black background?
