But my knowledge of the i810 video driver is that it is to drive the video on Intel's i810 and i815 Pentium-3 motherboards. Those certainly can't accept an EM64T CPU. So I'm puzzled what piece of hardware, in a platform that FreeBSD/AMD64 runs on, that could need this driver. src/sys/conf/files.amd64 revision 1.46 removed pci/agp_i810.c under these assumptions. Were they wrong and I should add pci/agp_i810.c back? -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
