Actually, the Intel driver going forward currently is the i915 driver, which is going to be in the next X.Org release, is apparently secure, is ported to FreeBSD (untested iirc -- I'm setting up a machine now), and supports i830-i915. There's been a suggestion that i915 could be extended to support i810 as well, which would deal with the security model issues that I suspect are the same on i810 as i830. That would be the hardest but perhaps best option. The alternate route is to just port the i810 driver as-is. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
