Sorry about that, we start to talk about it in private with Dave.
But, I did not really it since Keenan Pepper told me it was due
to a bug in the XFree 4.3 driver.
I am now using Xorg and didn't see any DRM problem since.
However, I can't confirm that my bug was surely due to the XFree driver 
and not to the kernel driver since Xorg uses i915 instead of i830.
Keenan, do you have details ?

I was also talking about a problem in intelfb on this box (i845G).
Basically, it works great during startup. But from what I remember, it
always crashes when switching from X to a text console.
I'll try to debug this one soon.

Brice
