Are you sure that the problem isn't just that the current releases of FreeBSD
don't have GEM/KMS support which the newer Intel drivers require? I'm running
a test build on my Google CR48 and have OpenGL acceleration without any major
hiccups except not being able to get back to a console after starting X.
Test here:

I converted the image into full install on my hard drive.

Thank you for the reply.
I've been unable to lay hands on a USB drive big enough to hold that
entire image, so I can't easily test with it.
From what I'm finding on the web, your Google CR48 is probably an Intel
GMA 3150, which looks like it's covered by the normal open source Intel
driver even though it's not explicitly listed on the manpage.

I think my GMA 500 is a different situation. I'm pessimistic.
