Hi Yan.
Even if your system crash as the one from the original reporter, you
both have very very different hardware: yours is one the older chipset
supported by Intel driver and for which there are known problems; Julian
has instead a very new hardware.
I think you'd better to open a new bug to track your problem.
And keep in mind that your platform is quite rare now, so it would be
good if you will inform upstream too:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/feedback.html
Xorg X server configuration file status:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3607 Jan 11 21:45 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
From the low of my experience i can suggest you:
- search for "845", "hung", "hangcheck" and similar on bugs.debian.org
and on lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/, to find similar reports.
- try to rename xorg.conf so that it won't be loaded anymore. If you
don't have particular needing, now X is able set the proper
configuration automatically. This probably won't resolve your specific
problem.
- if you are able and if you are not afraid to experiment, you can try
both kernel and intel driver from experimental, so you can see if your
problem are already corrected or got better. To summarize upgrade
xserver-xorg-video-intel, libdrm-intel1, libdrm2 and install
linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-686.
DRM Information from dmesg:

Maybe it's normal, but i wonder why lspci reports an i845 chipset, while
this logs talks about an i830.
Good luck.
Cesare.
