  The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that Konstantin Belousov
  has been awarded a grant to
  implement support of GEM, KMS, and DRI for Intel Drivers. This project
  is being co-sponsored by iXsystems.

 W00t!  Konstantin, please let me know if I can be of any help.  I have
 8-STABLE on an Intel i3 M 350 with integrated HD graphics that I'll gladly
 move to 9-CURRENT if I can help this effort in any way.

 Thanks to the Foundation for funding this!  Time to go contribute again.


Yes a big thumbs up for working on this issue!!

I recently came into possession of a laptop with Intel HD graphics as
well, and would like to help this project along so I can run FreeBSD on
it without everything looking stretchy.  Let me know if I can help too.

Ditto that.  When my hardware is supported, it is my experience that
FreeBSD makes the best workstation of any OS I've used.  More hardware
support for workstation-type use, then, is a good thing.
