I am running peppermint 4 on an IBM Thinkpad X30 which has the Intel 82830M/MG graphics controller and I had the same problem of frequent black screens and hang ups. The workaround that Federico mentioned also worked for me. The way I implemented it was:

changing/making the xorg.conf by

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf

and adding:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
