Hi Mike, I'm assuming you mean you're having trouble running X on your machine with the 810 chipset? Fortunately, the current version of XFree86 4 (4.2.0) in packages or ports (/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4) already supports it. You'll have to re-compile your kernel with the 'device agp' and add 'Option NoDDC' to your XFree86 config and you'll be good to go. I found the following thread very helpful: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=837556+0+archive/2001/freebsd-stable/20010617.freebsd-stable -Brett On Sat, Jun 08, 2002 at 11:37:13AM -0500, Mike Taylor wrote: > Will support for the Intel 81x architecture be available in the 4,6 > or 5.0 release?
