It looks like you may have problem which is different from the problem
that most other people have on 845G. Perhaps you could try some older
kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and see if
you can find one that doesn't have the problem. A 2.6.30, 2.6.29 or
2.6.28 kernel may work, or maybe changing the kernel doesn't work at
all.

Another thing you may try is to use the kernel option nomodeset (I
find that the easiest way to edit kernel options is to edit
/etc/default/grub, add it after "quiet splash", and then run
update-grub before reboot). It may be that the problems you have are
related to KMS, which is disabled with nomodeset.

Finally, maybe you can try the freezetest kernels in Jaunty? If Jaunty
works all right out of the box, it is possible that also freezetest1
and freezetest8 will work, but not freezetest9.
