X.org/i845 refuses to set an resolution ex. default

[dgmm]

I think the Intel chipset incorrectly reports the amount of video ram to the 
system

IIRC (It's a while ago now and I no longer use that chipset) you need 
agp_load="yes" in /boot/loader.conf or compiled into the kernel and add in a 
line:

 VideoRam    65536

to the device section for the video card/chipset.

I also seem to recall googling on this very topic and reading about patches 
for the i810 driver.  Try a google on 

i810 memory

or maybe

i810 resolution
