Just a follow-up for the archives... I loaded the 915resolution port
and configured my rc.conf accordingly:
i915resolution_enable="YES"
i915resolution_modes="3c 4d 5c"
i915resolution_width="1680"
i915resolution_height="1050"
Xorg still failed...

Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
However, when I changed the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from i810 to
vesa:
Identifier "Card0"
#Driver "i810"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Now Xorg starts fine. I'm not sure why it worked but I'm glad it does.
I'll go with the VESA driver unless I get any feedback or more info on
getting i810 driver to work.
Thanks for you help.
