This is not my experience. On my laptop, which is equipped with an Intel
integrated video,
agp0: <Intel 82945GM (945GM GMCH) SVGA controller>
i use the following in /etc/rc.conf:
allscreens_flags="MODE_356 green black"
This gives the *maximal* resolution of the screen and an extremely nice
display, with very fine fonts, better that what i have under Linux.
This is one of the hardware things which work very well under FreeBSD.
