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.
