My PC-BSD 1.3 installation was based upon FreeBSD 6.1. My Dell SC420 has Intel E7221 on-board video which is based upon the i915 which uses the i810 driver. However, dmesg told me that it was using the isa-vga driver. Things were sluggish....after a while, switching windows would take a few seconds. my Xorg log said that /dev/agpgart wasn't found? Sure enough, nothing. After much searching, it seemed my best be would be to upgrade my kernel and source as the latest i810 driver had made some significant improvements.
So, I upgraded to 6.2 - unfortunately this didn't help. I found several posts that said to hack vga_pci.c to always create an agp device. But vga_pci.c doesn't even seem to be in the source anymore?
