I found workaround for GPU lockups (X freezes) on Intel i845 hardware at official Xorg bug tracking system - see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345

It's very simple - just create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file with this content:

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Card0"
  Option "DRI" "false"
  Option "Shadow" "true"
EndSection

I'm attaching xorg.conf file which fixes GPU lockups on Intel i845 hardware.

Also I found more info about solutions how to fix GPU lockups on Intel i845 and i855 hardware at LP bug #541492 and bug #541511
