I've seen that some folks use Xfree drivers as a models sometimes when
they try and develop vga drivers for plan9; today I noticed:

"Support added to the i810 driver for Intel 845G, 852GM, 855GM and 865G
integrated graphics chipsets, including 2D, 3D (DRI) and XVideo. Support
for the 830M has been improved, and XVideo support added."

in the release notes of the newly released XFree86-4.3.0  Perhaps
there's some new clues available for those who understand these types of
things.

Cheers,
