Subject:   Xorg Config Problem-[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"

I've just installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0 and ran into a 
problem configuring X Window System Version 6.8.2.  
I have an ASUS P4P800 motherboard with a built-in graphic 
card (Intel 865G GMCH I believe).

I receive the following error message when running the 
configuration test:

[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
(EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed.  Disabling DRI.

This seems similar to the problem you had with the Intel chipset 
945.  I read your comment (below) but don't fully understand what steps 
were required.  Could you provide more detail? 

"I solved this problem by using the text configuration tool via the 
xorgconfig command.  I picked the i810 chipset driver and Xorg started up 
just fine."



Thank you,
Bob Perry
