I would strongly recommend that you upgrade to 4.1-STABLE and rebuild X from
the latest XFree86-4 port (currently, it is XFree86 4.0.1). But if (for
whatever reason) you need to run on i810 hardware under XFree86 3.3.6, you
will need to build it from the latest ports/x11/XFree86. It has a limited
support for i810. With it you will not get high resolutions.
What you will need (after you successfully compile and install the port) is:
1. set the environment variable I810_UNSUPPORTED_GTT_FALLBACK (to any value)
2. in your XF86Config file, write down the following Device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "i810"
Driver "i810"
Option "no_accel"
EndSection
You may also benefit from searching the mailing list archives. I have
explained this a number of times already, in a bit more details.
Cheers,
