I currently use that on my laptop but am still unable to get OpenGL games working. I also use the i915 kernel module and have tried the linux_dri as well I don't have my laptop in front of me right now to verify anything else I may be running to get support for this. So, if FreeBSD has the agpgart/agp kernel driver, would you just compile the three drivers and load them into the kernel at boot for support or with kldload? If it isn't in the ports and there aren't step-by-step instructions on doing something outside of the ports, I am kind of at a loss. I appreciate everyone's help and comments thus far.
