I did the manual upgrade to xorg 6.8.1 (using the 6c patch [1]) for exactly this reason, which gave me a working dual head configuration, but I am forced to use Option NoAccel because of a bug [2] in the i810 driver in 6.8.1. As I am more interested in giving presentations than in video performance, this does not concern me too much, though it is a nuisance nonetheless. I do hope there will be a fully working i810 driver soon, and DRI support in the kernel would be nice too :) Oh, and there is a CRT switching tool for this card on Linux named i855crt [3] which might be of some interest if it can be ported to *BSD. Haven't looked into it yet though.
