I've tried the driver from ppa:glasen/intel-driver on two identical
machines with i845 (from Memory - not at them at present).  One seems to
now work fine and can even run Blender without crashing (which would
instantly previously).  It has the server kernel (server + gnome-
desktop).

On the other, a standard 10.04 desktop install (and Parents machine to
hard to test on) - I'm not sure if the driver made things more stable as
I had to revert due to a problem with pictures, usually photos in
Firefox.  The pictures would initially show as a black rectangle, but
usually show the picture once moused over.  Some showed a previous
picture slightly offset.  It looks to me like the initial texture coping
is not working -  and having the mouse cursor over that part of the
screen forces an update.

Here's hoping this info gives someone an 'A ha!' moment. :-)
