I'm trying to use an HP Omnibook 510 with this chipset.  
I am running under -curret, though.

Sound works.
PCMCIA slot works (if you add kernel option PCI_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_IO_MODES.
I'm not sure if PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES is required).
suspend/resume works.

XFree86-4.2 is a different story.  I have enabled the AGP device,
but the i830 isn't recognized by the -current code.  There is a 
helpful web site on using DRI at http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/
There's a patch for the i830 in the files section.  It might
be only for current; I'm not sure though.

I did get X to work using the vesa driver (upto 1024x768 on the LCD), but with
only 8bpp.  

I haven't tried this under -stable so I can't help you there.

Good luck.

Hi,
I am looking for success stories running FreeBSD-stable on a laptop with
the i830 chipset and working with X.

Does anyone have this combination?
I am looking at purchasing a Dell Inspiron 2600.

Thanks
