Hi

I have a Dell Optiplex gx520 with the Intel 945g chipset using Freebsd
6.0 Release and Xorg 6.9.0
 
I am unable to get the onboard PCI-E Intel graphics working properly in
Xorg. I can not get XVideo working due to missing /dev/agpgart. I have
tried everything.
 
ls -l /dev/agpgart
ls: /dev/agpgart: No such file or directory

I have option agp in my kernel.
If I try a kldload agp.ko it errors with :- interface agp.1 already
present in the KLD 'kernel'!

Here are some other related errors/info from Xorg.log
 
(**) I810(0): Option "DRI" "on"
(**) I810(0): Option "XVideo" "on"
 
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
 
(WW) I810(0): VideoRAM reduced to 7932 kByte (limited to available
sysmem)
 
(--) I810(0): HW Cursor disabled because it needs agpgart memory.
 
(II) I810(0): 19944 kBytes additional video memory is required to enable
tiling mode for DRI.
(II) I810(0): 9960 kBytes additional video memory is required to enable
DRI.
(II) I810(0): Disabling DRI.
 
(--) I810(0): Xv is disabled because it needs 2D accel and AGPGART.
 
(II) I810(0): direct rendering: Disabled

Any ideas when Intel 945g is going to be supported properly in the
upcoming releases or indeed how to fix this in the meantime ?
 
Thanks
