I had the same problem with XFree86 on RELENG_4, with a Thinkpad T40
(model 2373-9CU). After a couple days of head-scratching, I found your
message to freebsd-mobile, and applied the above-mentioned patch. X
works fine, now--no problems to speak of.
It's been about 8 weeks since the 1.16->1.17 patch to agp_intel.c was
added to -CURRENT. The change seems harmless enough. Any chance
someone could MFC it? The added hardware compatibility would be great
to have in 4.9.
