Just for the sake of completness :
I have been able to install an Intel driver on it.

That is, I used the Intel Embedded Graphic Driver (look for IEGD 5.1 on
Intel site)

Vista will still ask for a video controller driver, but it is working
perfectly in 32-bit colors mode and happy in 1280x1024.

That way I have a nice computer for basic windows Vista testing.
