Ubuntu 18.04 Video Driver for AOpen DEX4502

That ancient AOpen DEX4502 hardware has an Intel® GM45+ICH9M chipset with GMA X4500MHD graphics engine.
I could not install Ubuntu 18.04 without using that nomodeset option.
Now Ubuntu is booting but the machine runs really hot and I was hoping I could solve this by using the proper video driver.
Inxi is saying the driver is 'fbdev' and also mentions 'modesetting' and 'vesa' as being unloaded. I was hoping I could find and install an 'intel' driver that would make use of the machine hardware.
Do I need to update the kernel to a version that has built-in support for that hardware? Am I better off using an older Ubuntu version? I know it used to run some older version without overheating.
inxi -G outputs the following:
Graphics: Card: Intel Mobile 4 Series Integrated Graphics Controller
Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 )
drivers: fbdev (unloaded: modesetting,vesa)
Resolution: 1600x1200@77.00hz
OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 128 bits)
version: 3.3 Mesa 18.0.0-rc5
After creating that 20-intel.conf file as explained there.
Inxi shows drivers: fbdev,intel (unloaded: modesetting,vesa).
Enabling modesetting then still prevents it from booting up.
I guess I'll try disabling fbdev but to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing.
After removing the fbdev package and a reboot inxi is now showing:drivers: vesa,intel (unloaded: modesetting)
So I'll try removing vesa.
Removing the vesa driver prevented me to even access the terminal and I had to do a re-installation. So I'm guessing that '20-intel.conf' is not helping much other than somehow showing intel in the drivers list.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try removing nomodeset from the kernel line in grub and replace it with 'acpi_os=linux'. If that gives you a blank screen, use the brightness adjustment on the display to make it brighter. Also post the output of 'grep -i w|e|i915 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

@Brian I tried the suggested grub changes without joy. It hangs on a purple screen while booting, certainly failing to init graphics. That grep command does not find anything either.
