I have:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

I've also experienced the failure for X to start with the most recent intel driver and kernel 2.6.32 (Archlinux).
i686, intel driver 2.10.0, xorg-server 1.7.5, libgl 7.7, mesa 7.7. KMS enabled.

I get the following errors in Xorg.log when it freezes:
(EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or even a frozen display: Input/output error.

I compiled the vanilla git kernel 2.6.33 with the two patches listed below (lid patch and big-hammer) and while I at least got X to start successfully, it still freezes after awhile or as soon as I start switching between virtual terminals or using graphic-intensive applications. DWM runs for much longer than XFCE!!

I can help troubleshoot on my hardware, if it's needed.

Let me know if I can provide any further info.
