Further searching (many many variants of "freebsd i945 agp etc etc" brought me to http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-August/019895.html This lists a patch which appiles cleanly to 6-STABLE, gives me drm and allows me to use the i810 xorg driver. So finally accelerated X :) Cross posting to mobile@ as for me at least this was the last major problem with my Dell inspiron 640m. Full details are: patch /usr/src/sys/pci/agp_i810.c with the patch from http://marcus.grupos.com.br:8080/patch/agp_i810.c.patch recompile your kernel. I needed to fiddle using 915resolution to give the bios 1440x900 in 32 bits, as thats what xorg seemed to prefer (kept bomming out no matter what until i set the right mode in the video bios) startx go "ooh look glxgears works :) regards, Vince
