intel i810 graphics card

Hi,

A relative is trying to install FreeBSD on an old Dell desktop with an 
i810 graphics card.  Xorg won't start as there is no DRM support in the 
FreeBSD kernel for that card (at least that I can find).  Is there any 
way of getting a decent resolution on that card?  I tried the VGA 
driver, but it claimed there was insufficient memory for anything other 
than some 320x2?? resolution which is next to useless.  I'm suspecting 
that since it probably "borrows" memory from the main memory, without a 
special driver they're stuck.  Anyone got ideas?

Thanks,

Gary
