Apply the updates for FC4. This problem was present when the discs were
burned for FC4. The newer versions of X work fine with Intel chipsets
that I have tried. (865G and 815). Your 845 ought to work for terminals
after applying the updates.
The problem was with a bug in GCC for optimized compilations. It was
fixed and so were programs which were recompiled with the newer and
debugged GCC compiler.
