Hi All, I installed PC-BSD 1.2 (FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2) on a PC with i810 chipset. Well, as you might have guessed from the subject, X did not start, with an error indicating the /dev/agpgart was not present. AFAIK, agp, drm support is built-in for FreeBSD 6.1 - so I am not sure why /dev/agpgart was not created. Other similar threads did not help much, as the solutions involved creating the node by hand (which I think won't work), or adding some patch to the kernel (not sure if this will work either, as the support is built-in). As a sidenote, Ubuntu 6.06 on the same machine properly created /dev/agpgart, and things are fine. I tried doing "X -config", which gave me a crude 640x480 resolution. In the Device section, giving module to be i810 or vesa did not help either. The same error persists. Any pointers to get X working shall be appreciated. I do not have an access to this machine, so cannot really post the errors or log files. Also, since PC-BSD uses FreeBSD 6.1, I thought of posting here. Thanks in advance. Best, Amarendra
