Sorry you had a GPU lockup on your i865, I know how annoying those bugs are.

Unfortunately, the 8xx family of chips seems to be plagued with problems like these, and Intel offers limited support for bugs we forward upstream, especially against older versions of the driver like this. Also, we've found that when we get patches to fix 8xx problems they have a high tendency to cause regressions elsewhere or for other users, so as a policy we don't backport patches for 8xx bugs.
