nv_58 (aka SXCE 58) and later include version 1.7.4 of the Xorg i810
driver, which provides support for (according to the i810 man page):
i810, i810-DC100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM,
865G, 915G, 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 965G, 965Q and 946GZ chipsets.
However, without support for each of those chipsets in the kernel
agpgart/agpmaster drivers, you will be limited in the available
memory the chipset is able to use from the main system memory.
agpgart support for i915 was added in nv_37:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6372300
agpgart is being updated to add i945 in nv_66:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6511711
and i965 may get agpgart support as soon as nv_67:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6492209
Additionally, for 3-D accelerated graphics on Intel chipsets, you
need DRI/DRM modules in the kernel, which were first delivered in nv_50:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6462353
and updated to support i945 chipsets in nv_55:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6482755
but that was incompatible with the Xorg i810 1.7.4 driver delivered
in nv_58, so DRI was unusable in nv_58 through nv_64. This was
fixed in nv_65:
