How do I get Intel 845g graphics working? [closed]

Question

I need help enabling Intel 845g to run with intel drivers. I'v looked everywhere on the net with no joy. I can't seem to get intel video drivers to load the gui, only with vesa drivers. it drops me straight to the shell prompt. Xorg.0.log shows the following:

Well not the same problem as yours but I faced a problem with ubuntu 10.04 where the X froze. Seems like it still persists for maverick. May be you could try this. Or may be you could update with this ppa it has a newer version of intel xorg driver.
