The necessary fixes for i915 and i945 are in 7-current, and I have asked several times in the past to MFC the code to RELENG_6 (and I even showed that it's possible: My laptop is running RELENG_6, with some code taken from -current, so AGP is detected fine, so 3D acceleration + XVideo works). So, if you need that support, you have to do any of these: - Switch to 7-current, or - Merge the code into RELENG_6 yourself, like I did, or - Try to talk someone into MFCing the AGP/DRM code.
