Cannot start X

Hi:

I just installed FreeBSD 6.0 on a P4 HT, and I cannot start X. Actually I 
want to start KDE; the .xinitrc is in place, but I couldn't start it before 
I wrote it, either. As I cannot copy and paste, I do not give you my 
xorg.conf file, but I need the i810 driver for a Realtek A'67 integrated 
sound device whose chip apparently is Intel.

Upon startx, I get in the end:

(==) Using config file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
(EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
start: not found.

I have checked the xorg.conf file and it has no mention of module i915. I 
have tried with the config files made by "xorgcfg -textmode", but none of 
the options for the driver i810 works. The check: "Xorg -config 
xorg.conf.new", after making "Xorg -configure" and changing the resolution 
to 1280x1024, works all right, though.

I would appreciate if you could give me a hint of what to do. I'll be happy 
to provide any additional information.

Teilhard.
