Great!

Excellent idea.

Thanks, that would be very helpful.

Yep, intentional since I have no i8xx hardware to test it on. ;)

Title:
  do-release-update to Precise produces a hardware-not-support-in-Natty
  warning

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I ran "do-release-update -d" on a Lucid system to upgrade to Precise
  (which downloaded and ran version 0.156.6 of precise.tar.gz).

  As part of the pre-upgrade checking process, I got the following
  message:

    Your graphics hardware may not be fully supported in Ubuntu 11.04.

    The support in Ubuntu 11.04 for your intel graphics hardware is 
    limited and you may encounter problems after the upgrade. Do you want 
    to continue with the upgrade?

  Does this warning still apply to Precise?
