XP SP2 Upgrade caused black screen

Background: Intel has stopped supporting the Intel 82815 Graphics Controller and does not support any OS above XP Upgrading to SP2 causes laptops with 82815 to display a black screen
Workaround: Press F8 at startup to use VGA mode and then adjust the video properties manually after you get video and can see the screen
Question: Does anyone know a third-party driver for Intel 82815 that supports SP2?
