I just installed Houdini 10 apprentice on ubuntu 9.04 and I am having problems with my display. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like Pretty messed up huh? Anyway, I am VERY new to Linux and I am still getting things sorted out. Compiz is off and my wacom tablet is unplugged. Video Driver: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
Odd, it looks like it's scaled all the sub-windows by some factor. I'd love to offer some explanation, but that's just plain weird.
While browsing the intel download pages, on some pages it indicates that readme.txt is not available for all downloads. Guess your platform is one of the unlucky ones
Anyways, it looks like you can do this:
tar xvfz i915Graphics.tar.gz cd dripkg su root
./install.sh
and follow the instructions. Not having an i915, I didn't get very far into the installation
Note that Intel's drivers are generally not very well reviewed, so you may not see much improvement. You can try the MESA software drivers instead if it's still unworkable.
The script will now compile the agpgart module and DRM kernel modules for your machine.
Press ENTER to continue or CTRL-C to exit.
Compiling new agpgart module…
ERROR: AGPGART module did not compile
Compiling DRM module…
ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile
The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules. Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on what went wrong.

And here is the dri.log:
