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.

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.
