I'm having problems starting X on my new DELL Dimension E520 desktop.
It has an Intel G965 Express Chipset (with ICH8 SATA I/O controller,
PCI Express, etc.). I have recently installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on
this machine (although the SATA DVD drive is not supported by FreeBSD
yet) and have installed the latest X.org 7.2 using pkg_add.
When I start X, I get the following error message:

Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (+
+) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??)
unknown.

(EE) I810(0): Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRAM set too
low ??

Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

Here are my Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf (automatically generated by
xorgcfg):

xorg.conf :http://www.divshare.com/download/727709-b25

As far as I could find out by googling, FreeBSD cannot use this device
because the i810 X.org driver looks for AGP devices and this is not
one.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I had a similar problem with X.org 7.2. When I stopped using 915resolution
the X server started. This all worked fine X.org 6.9.

(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum

915resolution doesn't patch the videao bios checksum.

I'm not using 915resolution as far as I know. I have just installed
FreeBSD on this machine, and right now, the only additional installed
packages are "bash" and "X.org 7.2".
