I just went through this exercise with 4.3 release and an i815 board. If you search the freebsd mail archive with "i815 XFree86 4.3", there are numerous hits. The following link was the one that shows the XF86Config file options. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2064831+2067974+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-questions/20010729.freebsd-questions The kernel needs to be rebuilt first with "device agp" added. Then the i810 driver specified in the XF86Config file.
