Intel G965 graphics and X.org 7.2 on 6.2-RELEASE

[nove...@gmail.com]

I'm having problems starting X on my DELL Dimension E520 desktop. It
has an Intel G965 Express Chipset (with ICH8 SATA I/O controller, PCI
Express, etc.). I have recently installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on this
machine (although the SATA DVD drive is not supported by FreeBSD yet)
and have installed the latest X.org 7.2 using pkg_add.
When I start X, I get the following error message (I copied the
following message from another post by someone else, since I don't
have access to my machine right now; the error message is exactly the
same though):

Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon May 23 15:11:36 2007
(WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1)
found
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRAM set too
low ??

Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

I would appreciate any help.

Here are the Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf

Xorg.0.log : http://www.divshare.com/download/727706-dc0
xorg.conf : http://www.divshare.com/download/727709-b25

As far as I could find out by googling, FreeBSD cannot use this device
because the i810 X.org driver looks for AGP devices and this is not
one.
Any ideas?

Perhaps it's late now, but for the record...

I had same kind of problems while my /etc/boot/loader.conf contained a
line
acpi_video_load="YES"
Commenting out this line helped. I even can 'kldload acpi_video'
later...

I don't have any ACPI related lines in my loader.conf. I also checked /
boot/defaults/loader.conf (where the default values are), and there
was a
acpi_video_load="NO"
in that file. So I don't think my issue is related to ACPI. The
problem is that the drivers for Intel G965 are still not present in
FreeBSD's 6.2-RELEASE and -STABLE branches, and for 7.0-CURRENT, you
have to patch agp.c and agpreg.h to make the OS able to recognize the
chipset, but that patch has not made its way to the source tree yet
(and it breaks other things as well).
