Hmm.  Well, it works for me using the same kernel (linux-image-2.6.32-5-686,
version 2.6.32-23) and, presumably, the same video driver
(xserver-xorg-video-intel, 2:2.9.1-4).  The only difference is the chipset.
Mine is 915G.  Yours is 845G.  Does /var/log/syslog provide any useful
clues that are not in the output of dmesg?  What does the output of

   lsmod

look like?  What happens if you set modeset to 0 for the i915 module?
(Maybe i915 isn't even being used.  Output of lsmod will tell you that.)
