The current intel drivers require kernel mode setting. You can activate
it with 2.6.30, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it is very buggy in that
old version.

Put "options i915 modeset=1" into /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add
"intel_agp i915" to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf. This will
probably allow you to use X, but as I said: BUGGY.
