I did a clean boot of the official Ubuntu 8.04 'desktop' release (live CD) and both with the SDVO card and without the result is a complete lockup of the PC (black screen, LCD recons the resolution is 640x480, tapping num/capslock does not do anything, cannot switch to Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.). This is on amd64 platform. The lockup seems to occur right after you can see it 'starting CUPS' in textmode, not 100% sure whether this is driver related (no logs available from the live boot), although it seems to match the result I got when upgrading the xorg/intel packages on a 7.10 install to those included with Hardy...

With a clean reinstall of the official 7.10 release it works fine with the SDVO card as mentioned before using the included 'intel' driver (1920x1200, no blurred images).
