>Description:

I have an Intel i915G onboard graphics device that uses 8MB of shared memory.  After installing 6.3-RELEASE i386, I compiled a kernel with the drm and i915drm devices enabled (and leaving the agp device enabled).

On boot, agp0 detects 8MB of memory for the i915G, and /dev/agpgart is created.  But [drm] reports 0MB.  Consequently (?), the kernel reports 0 memory available to the i810 driver in xorg, and dri is disabled.  (The new "intel" display driver is worse -- xorg won't even run, complaining of insufficient memory.)

When I was using 6.1-RELEASE on this same hardware back in 2006, I implemented Eric Anholt's May, 2006, source modifications in /usr/src/sys/dev/drm.  Then, with the drm and i915drm devices in the kernel, [drm] reported 8MB of memory, and dri in xorg worked after persuading the BIOS that there were 12MB.  I'm therefore inclined to deem the present condition a regression.

The 2006 drm patches won't compile in 6.3, apparently owing to subsequent changes in the code for the agp or pci devices.  The 6.3 version of drm_agpsupport.c treats 6.3 the way Mr. Anholt's 2006 version treated 7.x, skipping some detection routines.
