Googling on the HD 8400 and linux produced this hit:

Which talks of a beta driver that supports this chip.
So it seems there is no way to test Ubuntu on this machine before
installing it. Is that correct?

I think you shouldn't expect that it would work after you installed this
version of Ubuntu. If the LiveDVD doesn't support your graphics
hardware, it is unlikely that it would work with the installed system.
As your graphics hardware is rather new, I would suggest to try the beta
version of Ubuntu 13.10 or wait until the release of 13.10 (next week?).
The article above talks about kernel 3.10 support and Ubuntu 13.10 uses
kernel 3.11, so it may work with Ubuntu 13.10.

If it does not work, what you only can do is WAITING..<br>
