You don't need to install anything. The drivers for intel graphics cards are open source and already integrated into Ubuntu.

The 82845g doesn't seem to work well in any Linux distro. It randomly freezes. Switching to the vesa driver will prevent this, but only allow a very low resolution display.

I realize that this thread is pretty old, but I found some information that may help any future visitors who come here as I did in a desperate search for answers. I have a circa-2004 Dell Dimension 2400 with the 82845G chipset that I really wanted to install Linux on for a client, and was about to give up - esp. after reading numerous posts like this - when I decided to give Lubuntu 14.04 a try. Much to my amazement it installed and ran fine with all updates installed. Its not the perfect DE for this particular client (I was hoping for something a little more Windows-like, as they are Linux virgins) but hey, it works! Hope this info helps someone else as well
