i830MG chipset supported?

Folks,

Due to the untimely death of my previous Vaio, I have a R505E with the
Intel 830MG chipset.  I'm trying to get X configured on it, and have not
yet been successful.

If I load the agp kernel module, I never do get a vga device, which
makes everything else problematic.  Trying to config X from sysinstall
causes a coredump.  If I use the curses-based config tool, I get a config
file, but never get graphics.  The log of a startx is at
http://www.jpj.net/~benh/XFree86.0.log

A search of the web uncovered a message to the Xpert list in Feb of 2002
indicating that the i830MG chipset wasn't supported under FreeBSD, and
that some hacking on agpgart would be necessary to make it work.

Does anyone know if progress on this has been made, or am I SOL for the
time being?

Thanks

Ben
