Bug#515148: [845G] Xorg hard locks cmptr with lenny kernel but not etch kernel

[Gebhardt Thomas <gebhardt@hrz.uni-marburg.de>]

Hi,

i was bitten by that bug, too. Really annoying!

This is my video card:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE 
Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 5641
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
        Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        Memory at ffa80000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
        Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 1
        Kernel modules: i2c-i810, intelfb

After some fiddling I got a rudimentary but working vesa setup.
(after setting the shmem video size to 8MB in the BIOS)
