  It's trivial:

  I'm not sure here. Yes, Intel's Mobile 915 PM/GM/GMS and 910GML Express 
Chipsets don't claim AGP capability. But they still contain AGP-related
registers for compatibility. Moreover, we've just added those chipsets
support to our sys/pci/agp_i810.c! So now we have an inconsistency between
agp_i810.c and vga_pci.c and this should be fixed in order to get
working DRM on those chipsets (people DO report that this hack makes
DRM happy, I've not tried to explore it's actual functionality under
XFree yet). For long-term solution, maybe we should have PCI Express-specific
module which should attach to vga_pci and provide service similar to agp 
module.

Sincerely, Dmitry
