What exactly was happening? 'crash' is a bit vague.
If your video chipset really is that bad, putting in a cheap but more compatible video card would work around that.
The linux distros would often lock up randomly and stop responding, forcing me to do a hard restart. I could never use a linux os for more than fifteen minutes without that happening. Last time I checked, a few months ago, linux developers were discussing the bug, an issue with the intel graphics, on the site where they discuss bugs and all (I forgot the web address) but were making no headway; I searched the internet recently and couldn't find a proper fix or update for the bug either. Hmm, if possible I'd like an OS which will run with that hardware.

exaccel
exaccel(3alleg4) Allegro manual exaccel(3alleg4)
NAME
exaccel - Using offscreen video memory to store source graphics for VBE/AF. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
Example exaccel
DESCRIPTION
This program demonstrates how to use an offscreen part of the video memory to store source graphics for a hardware accelerated graphics
driver. The example loads the `mysha.pcx' file and then blits it several times on the screen. Depending on whether you have enough video
memory and Allegro supports the hardware acceleration features of your card, your success running this example may be none at all, sluggish
performance due to software emulation, or flicker free smooth hardware accelerated animation.
