It's the driver for Intel SandyBridge and later integrated graphics, and is included in base. There's no documentation included that I know of, but it's a modified version of Intel's official Linux driver. If you want a run-down of the what's included in the defalt (GENERIC) kernel configuration, the FreeBSD source code contains the files: - /usr/src/sys//conf/GENERIC - /usr/src/sys//NOTES These will give you a general idea of stuff included and what hardware/function the modules are for. It's not a comprehensive list, but I think it should cover most (all?) of what's in /boot/kernel on a default install for your architecture. I'm assuming you're asking because you intend to build a custom kernel and already have a local copy of the source, but if not you can read the files on the official SVN server.[1] [1]: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/ -- :: Brandon J.
