The problem I had was not being able to find the
chipset in the installation setup for XFree86.  I
resolved this by _NOT_ installing the X Window
distribution sets; but installed XFree86 4.x from the
packages at the end of the installation process.  I
then followed the guidance in the FreeBSD Handbook,
which worked very well.  

"5.4.3.1 Configuration with Intel i810 Graphics
Chipsets" can be found at:

(Sorry for the long url.  I hope it wraps correctly.)

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould
