Note that downgrading to 2.7 is a last resort and seldom very useful. With 2.7 
(and Jaunty) DRI was disabled for i8xx cards, so you might as well run with 
latest 2.9 but disable DRI if you have trouble with your i8xx card. A minimal 
xorg.conf for this would be:
Section "Device"
 Identifier "my-old-i8xx"
 Driver "intel"
 Option "DRI" "off"
EndSection

[i855GM] Freeze shortly after X startup on Intel i855
