My research indicated this impacts all distributions with a kernel after the
2.6.27 kernel. Some examples:
(1) Fedora:

(2) Ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1472282&highlight=855GM
and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475128&highlight=855GM and

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
(4) LinuxMint: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=47825
(5) Archlinux: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16974
.. plus others.
Fedora-13 tried the drm-intel-big-hammer.patch which did not work for most
users. Currently the fix-i855-cache-coherency-v9.patch in post #158 of
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187#c158 appears to be the most
hopeful fix.
But as near as I can determine, it still has not been submitted upstream to
linux git tree.
If you wish to test the fix-i855-cache-coherency-v9.patch, to my knowledge
there is no openSUSE build with this patch. Hence one needs to test it on an
unofficial community Ubuntu liveCD which one can find the URL for the torrent
here: http://glasen-hardt.de/?p=568
A problem with testing this 855GM patch, is all Linux distros have been broken
for the 855GM for so long, its possible other problems have crept in, that have
not been tested and discovered, and its difficult to sort those others, from
this one.
