Debian 7.0(beta4) and i845G/GL didn’t work out-of-the box for me, X crashed without a log as soon as it tried to initialize.
After adding following to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-i845g.conf – everything seems to work:
<code>
Section “Device”
Option “DRI” “True”
Option “Shadow” “True”
Option “XvMC” “False”
Option “XvPreferOverlay” “False”
Identifier “Card0”
Driver “intel”
VendorName “Intel Corporation”
BoardName “82845G/GL [Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
BusID “PCI:0:2:0”
EndSection
</code>
It’s possible that this is fixed when Wheezy is officially released, at least a bug has been reported.
