On one of ours Dell Optiplex GX60 with
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
I just tested the recommended fix from https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-fixes the "2.6.34-v9patch-generic #2-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 9" kernel and the mesa fix. All the other libs I have reverted to the standard lucid ones making shure that KMS was used. It really feels solid, congratulations and thanks. I really tried hard to crash it. The only flaw I could detect was a crash when visiting http://www.ardmediathek.de/ with firefox as already reported upstream in http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 #179 and following.
Admittedly the i845 is old and slow but I wish to use the machines as LTSP thin clients. Now I will dare to upgrade our server.
