On one of my laptops, i'm running FreeBSD freebsd 8.0-CURRENT-200906 and it has a Intel 945GM chipset. Xorg 1.6.x is running absolutely fine ! Tested it with both KDE 3.5.10 and DWM. There were some xorg.conf changes between Xorg server 1.5.x and 1.6.x Can you please highlight the specific issues ? thanks Saifi.
