I am not familiar with this hardware, but the searching I could do it 
doesn't look good:

Intel doesn't seem to care:

Ubuntu/kernel support seems minimal at best:

Maybe you will get slightly better results with a 3.5* kernel, but I 
wouldn't expect full working 3D hardware acceleration with this chip.

I will leave it to someone with hand-on experience with this hardware to 
help you, but I would not be too optimistic.
