Per the XFree86 4.1.0 docs: The Intel D185 chipset is 
directly supported on FreeBSD and Linux with something 
called an AGP GART kernel support...whatever that is.

There is no mention of NetBSD. But, I was hoping, that 
with NetBSD supporting other Linux-esq things...NetBSD 
might be included. 

Who knows how to do this, or if for a fact it definitely 
cannot be done?

If it can be done, and somebody tells me how, I will 
write a detailed HOW-TO for the web.

Thanks,

Gan
