Bug#527349: similar behaviour
I also have the 865G driver and am having problems with it.
But disabling DRI with Option "DRI" "False" in my xorg.conf lets me
run X without big problems (it is slow, but it runs at least, have you
guys tried this?).
Some people over at the #intel-gfx suggested that this was not a problem of
the intel driver but a problem with the mesa and should be fixed in
the 7.5 or 7.6 version (havn't tested it though).
One thing about the DRI option, if I ommit disabling the DRI then I
can run X by using IceWM and can watch videos with mplayer (havn't
tried any other player) but if I try to run anything else like
iceweasel then the X freezes. If the DRI is set to False then I can
not watch videos with mplayer so I am switching between the two at the
moment from time to time.
Cheers
Oli
