I can't comment on the Compaq, but I run FreeBSD 5.4 on a MSI S260 which is
built around the 915GM chipset. I didn't get round to put a nice writeup on my
homepage, but there's a short description, including kernel config and
xorg.conf, right here:

(select MSI on the left hand side, then S260)

Briefly, everything appears to work ok except there's no accelerated graphics
for the 915GM yet. The Vesa driver works ok though.

hope this helps
Markus
