Well, all I can say is that I'm running Lucid now, and my 945GM chipset (I know, it's not 965, the one this thread is about) works just great, I even got desktop effects back. So, if you tried to force-install an old driver version and had no improvements, well, I don't know what to say.
@Roman, if xorg doesn't swallow the 2.4 version, you could force install a 2.6+ version and see what happens.
