Quoth d...@safeport.com on Wednesday, 13 October 2010:
It appears (hopefully) that support for this may appear in FreeBSD 9. I
infer that some kernel support for DRM involves kernel support
(http://wiki.freebsd.org/DriDrivers) if so I think thats really too bad as
all the ~400 pieces of Xorg which develop at their own pace makes this a
hard (or at least delicate) process for the kernel team to support Xorg.
Anyway this chip is sorta supported by the vesa driver with apparently the
only resolutions supported being 1024x768 and 800x600. That really too bad
(for me) as the video I have supports 1600x900, 1440x900, 1366x768,
1360x768, 1280x800, 1280x768, and 1280x720.
My questions: is this the correct list to seek help on; and, is there any
way to configure the vesa driver to support any other resolution. I do not
need DRM or anything other than a better screen resolution.

I hope you're right, I'd like to get this support as soon as possible.
I haven't found a way to get beyond 1024x768 on vesa, or to get any other
driver to work. I'm looking for 1600x900 on my ASUS K72F with Intel
Integrated HD graphics.
