Hi there,
Judging from /sys/dev/drm/ contents, and listed kernel options in NOTES, there's currently evidence of support for i810/830 chips in FreeBSD, which (I suspect) is the probable reason why DRI is not enabled on my box (FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT from yesterday, latest X.Org). I also found traces of i810/830 support in FDo CVS (http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dri/drm/bsd/i830/), getting me to the fact that i8x0 files were removed from the BSD side, since they were not actually ported. (Unfinished? broken? unstable?)
The i830 DRM stuff is ported in a branch of DRI, but it's not in DRI head because of a security problem with the code.
Thanks. That's a good info to start with. May I ask you the details of security problem you've mentioned, or at least some pointer in this direction? Appropriate maillist and/or google reference would be fine, I guess.
In general, don't bother with the i830.o kernel module or driver any longer, they're deprecated in favour of the new, cleaner implementation in the i915 drivers. Look at the changes on the i865-agp branch and pull those into the i915 driver.
