The following configuration works for me: : Section "Device" : Identifier "i810" : Option "no_accel" : EndSection : : Section "Screen" : Driver "svga" : Device "i810" : Monitor "Samtron 75P+" : Subsection "Display" : Depth 16 : Modes "800x600" "640x480" : EndSubsection : Subsection "Display" : Depth 8 : Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" : EndSubsection : Subsection "Display" : Depth 24 : Modes "640x480" : EndSubsection : EndSection Note the "no_accel" option -- it is prerequisite. There is also a work-in-progress on native AGP drivers for FreeBSD. Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org> has plans to continue a work on i810 driver after Usenix.
