Thanks for the effort, here is my feed back:
Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
Linux pharge 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:22:14 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
New Xorg drivers installed like described above.
Boots fine, X starts with short with a shortly visible vertical fuzzy stripe pattern. I can also switch to tty1 ... tty6 back and forth without problems. I found this in dmesg:

For now it seems to work, but i will watch it, as i had sporadic complete freezes with the workarounds before....
