It shoudl work as far as I know. I recommend Pavel's advice to try the
latest versions. There will be an ubuntu repository somewhere that
provides these versions so hunt around.

The relevent bits of the log IMO are:

(II) I810(0): BIOS Build: 1358
(==) I810(0): Device Presence: disabled.
(==) I810(0): Display Info: enabled.
(II) I810(0): Broken BIOSes cause the system to hang here.
	      If you encounter this problem please add

	      to the Device section of your XF86Config file.

This means you are only trying to use the output for TV, not for a CRT
etc. which will likely cause some interesting errors (none of them
insurmountable tho')
