The necessary fixes for i915 and i945 are in 7-current, and
I have asked several times in the past to MFC the code to
RELENG_6 (and I even showed that it's possible:  My laptop
is running RELENG_6, with some code taken from -current,
so AGP is detected fine, so 3D acceleration + XVideo works).

So, if you need that support, you have to do any of these:
 - Switch to 7-current, or
 - Merge the code into RELENG_6 yourself, like I did, or
 - Try to talk someone into MFCing the AGP/DRM code.

Best regards
