Got FreeBSD installed on new Toshiba 1005-s157 Laptop. It has the Intel i830 agp video driver with 8MB shared memory. Running Xfree86 hangs the system (actually seems to hang the display only, I can still ping the machine and do a clean reboot using CTL-ATL-DEL), CTL-ALT-BKS has no affect. Running it with the vesa driver runs in 320x200 mode only. Can run with vga driver but only in 16 color 640x480. Following is the list last part of the log file when I run XFree86 using i810 driver.
P.S Running XF86Free -configure also hangs the systems, but I can run it successfully by remove the i810_drv.0 module from the drivers folder. I have tried "NoInt10", "NoDDC", and several other options to no avail. My brother also has exactly the same laptop and he is getting the same problems. Thanks for the help in advance. Reet.

It looks like XFree86 is attempting to execute BIOS calls but failing to actually find a working BIOS. In attempts to simplify the setup, I've built a kernel with almost everything removed (scsi, usb, network, etc). I also changed the XFree86 configuration to vesa mode and received similar errors: (WW) VESA(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum (II) VESA(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000 c000:01a2: 62 ILLEGAL X86 OPCODE!
