I am not currently aware of any such limitation. That said, I probably need to sync up our agp_i810 with a few new pci id's. We run the same drm code that linux does, though I'm still not exactly clear on what features they have actually shipped with a release. All Intel cards are "AGP" and therefore have to use agp_i810 which I suppose I am responsible for now. Send me pci id's and I can check on it... robert. > On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 5:33 PM, vermaden <vermaden@interia.pl> wrote: > > > > "Tony Sim" <y2s1982 at gmail.com> writes: > > > > Is there a driver for GMA x4500 graphics card in Freebsd? > > > > > > I think the question you *meant* to ask is "does X.org support the GMA > > > X4500 series".
