Were they wrong and I should add pci/agp_i810.c back? The i810 actually drives up to i830 now, and will eventually be replaced by a driver that does i810 up through i915 and i925 (the latest PCI express chipsets with onboard graphics IIRC). -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
