As per the title, I have no text. None in the game (Grandia 2), none on the boot screen. And while the other symptoms may not be a serious problem, it is an alpha release after all, they may help in a diagnosis so here they are: No real images or textures, just polygons. Sound: okay. FMV appears as a triangle covering half the screen. CPU: 100, FPS: 37.27/30. It _is_ an Intel (T2400, duo) and while I expect problems, I don't quite see these problems being manifest by a lack of text. Though, for all I know I'm just missing a layer. Anyway, any suggestions to fix this?

Exactly what I was afraid of. There's really no nice way of saying this, but the Intel Graphics Media Acceletor chip is probably the worst thing you can have as far as gaiming is concerned. Sure, that chip works with emulated 2D games well, but as soon as you start going 3D, expect problems such as the one you are having.
Chankast especially works very poorly with any kind of integrated graphic chip, as it requires a good pixel shader support (which most integrated chips don't have) and and a number of other shader and graphics functions (which again, most integrated chips lack or have earlier and inadequate implementations of said functions).
My suggestion to you is to get am actual video card, instead of an integrated solution. The only integrated graphics chips that I know and have better capabilities are ATi's Mobility Radeon series and nVIDIAs equivalents.
