I submitted a bug-report from that machine.  Here is the link to it, if 
it affects any of you:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251384

Since this machine has a maximum memory capacity of 256 megabytes, and 
has a speed of only 500 megahertz, I'm doubtful very many people are 
encountering the problem.

Thanks for the information about that graphics chip-set being supported.
