Hi there,
Judging from /sys/dev/drm/ contents, and listed kernel options in NOTES, there's currently evidence of support for i810/830 chips in FreeBSD, which (I suspect) is the probable reason why DRI is not enabled on my box (FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT from yesterday, latest X.Org). I also found traces of i810/830 support in FDo CVS (http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dri/drm/bsd/i830/), getting me to the fact that i8x0 files were removed from the BSD side, since they were not actually ported. (Unfinished? broken? unstable?)
The i830 DRM stuff is ported in a branch of DRI, but it's not in DRI head because of a security problem with the code.
And there were some persistent issues with older hardware that I never resolved to my satisfaction.
The new 'i915' code fixes these problems and is generally much cleaner - it should be the focus for intel chipset development from here out. I don't know any reason why it shouldn't be possible to apply the freebsd changes from the branch to this code on the head.
