With anything reasonably recent, it will allocate what it needs - the
memory pool is completely shared. With Ubuntu 10.10, you should be fine.
I do run a later kernel with mine though (the one from Natty) - as it
has better support for these chips.

What video chip do you have? It may be that it is a new enough chip that
you need to get a more recent kernel and/or video driver.

Aside from this - Intel integrated graphics just isn't very powerful,
but it does sound like you're seeing a bug rather than just a limit of
the hardware.
