X now works with 845 chipset with freebsd 845patch
patch can be gotten from
http://macallan.homeunix.org/stuff/845patch_BSD.tar.gz
untar, make, cp 845patch to your path
make sure VideoRam setting in your X config (/etc/X11/XF86Config)is at least
as much ram as you plan on specifying when you run the patch.
I set VideoRam to 65536 in the config (and changed my depth to 24 and res to
1024x768) then ran:
845patch 16384
it set the ram and i started X and had lovely fullscreen and depth 24. :)
enjoy :) We spent days tweaking the linux patch for free and netbsd.
