Hello Guys,

I have an Intel 950 GMA video card,
built-in in my computer's motherboard.
My motherboard is D945NT.

I installed FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE, and cvsupdated
it to FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE-p5.

Installed my ports and cvsupdated them.

I found "beryl"  in /usr/ports/x11-wm, it
seemed to depend on Xorg-7.2

I successfully upgrade Xorg-6.9 to Xorg-7.2.
I also compiled beryl, everything seems to be ok.

..and I have tried to make it work, I give up.

The problem seems to be that X is
trying to find /dev/agpgart, according
to my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: Intel Corporation

(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(WW) I810(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available
for allocation.  Using pre-allocated memory only.
(--) I810(0): Pre-allocated VideoRAM: 7932 kByte

I have seen beryl working on Gentoo Linux,
/dev/agpgart is present in an identical system,
and it seems to me that it is not a problem
of memory allocation.

so...

What do I have to do to create /dev/agpgart?

My kernel has

 	device 	agp

present.

Thank you in advance.

          Eduardo.
