Hi. I'm not having much luck with the 'intel' video driver on i386 
-CURRENT. Whereas it would panic the box earlier when starting X (see 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-February/082955.html 
), it now just completely hangs the machine.
No DDB, nothing.
FWIW hardware is a dell optiplex 756. Kernel is GENERIC with one added 
option (BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER). Graphics card is reported as 'Q963/Q965 
Integrated Graphics Controller' by pciconf.
The i810 driver works fine, but from what I gather from the xorg-drivers 
port, this driver is being phased out in favour of the intel driver. Is 
that correct? If so, then some work is needed somewhere.
What can I do to debug this further? I can't poweroff/poweron this machine 
remotely. :(
Cheers
Michiel
