Dies with what error ? paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log. BtW, 1280x800 is a
widescreen resolution and to get that you might need to patch your BIOS
at runtime using '915resolution' port.

    Nishita> The following two places suggest that FreeBSD 7.0 supports GM965 chipsets:

Following is my xorg.conf, and I've DRI working on my Intel G965 laptop.

In addition to above xorg.conf, I'm also using latest DRM from stuff from CVS from
':pserver:anoncvs at anoncvs.fr.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs/src/sys/dev/drm'
plus graphics/dri port.

And this works flawlessly :) .
