Support for the intel Ironlake Mobile Graphics Chipset

[doug at safeport.com]

It appears (hopefully) that support for this may appear in FreeBSD 9. I infer 
that some kernel support for DRM involves kernel support 
(http://wiki.freebsd.org/DriDrivers) if so I think thats really too bad as all 
the ~400 pieces of Xorg which develop at their own pace makes this a hard (or at 
least delicate) process for the kernel team to support Xorg.

Anyway this chip is sorta supported by the vesa driver with apparently the only 
resolutions supported being 1024x768 and 800x600. That really too bad (for me) 
as the video I have supports 1600x900, 1440x900, 1366x768, 1360x768, 1280x800, 
1280x768, and 1280x720.

My questions: is this the correct list to seek help on; and, is there any way to 
configure the vesa driver to support any other resolution. I do not need DRM or 
anything other than a better screen resolution.
