>Description:

After a code upgrade from 6.2-STABLE to 7.0-CURRENT, the X server
won't start, complaining about the absense of `/dev/agpgart', which is
missing indeed.

>How-To-Repeat:

* Have a machine with '82845G/GL/GV/GE/PE Integrated Graphics Device'.

* Install 7.0-CURRENT, where the revision's sys/pci/agp_i810.c CVS Id
  is:

  $FreeBSD: src/sys/pci/agp_i810.c,v 1.40 2007/07/13 16:28:12

  Reboot.

* Observe the lack of `/dev/agpgart'.

* Observe the failure to start X (provided the `xorg.conf' uses the
  i810 driver:

Section "Device"
        Driver      "i810"
EndSection

>Fix:

Applying the following patch:

===================================================================

resolves the issue -- after a rebuild and restart, `/dev/agpgart' does
appear, and the X servers starts and operates problem-free.

Note that the quoted string, "Intel 82845M (845M GMCH) SVGA
controller", may need to be changed to give a more accurate
information on the controller.

After the fix, pcicong -lv produces (in the relevant piece):
