There used to be a working video driver for the Intel 855GM, but since it actually worked, it was removed from Xorg. You now have three choices. You can go with the default, which is fbdev, and suffer crashes every few days. Or you can use the new intel driver, but it doesn't work either. I'm using the vesa driver, which gives you only very simple functionality, no higher resolutions, multiple monitors, effects, acceleration, etc. But at least it doesn't crash nearly as often. You do have to disable kernel mode setting with "nomodeset" on your kernel options.
