Hello. I am having troubles configuring both my video card and monitor and hoping for some assistance.

Video Card
I'm using an Intel DN2800MT motherboard which has a Intel NM10 Express Chipset. Best I can tell, the graphics card is an Intel GMA 3650:

Graphics
•Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3650

Technical Specs

dmesg
Code: 
vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> port 0x40d0-0x40d7 mem 0xd0600000-0xd06fffff irq 16 at device 2.0 on pci0

`Xorg -configure` detect it as this:
BoardName "Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller"

I tried the /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel drive and gives this:

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I'm assuming it is not supported at this time?

Monitor
Acer x163W
Native resolution: 1366x768 @ 60Hz

With the "vesa" driver, the X server comes up; but in a really weird resolution. Something like 1493x768. I'd be ok with using this driver is I can get the monitor resolution sorted out.

How do I set it up for 1366x768? I tried this:
Code: 
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport  0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes     "1366x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

But like I said, comes up in some odd resolution. The manual states that it should be run in the 1366x768 mode for "optimal quality".
 
I'm quite interested in how this topic progresses. As far as I know, the support for this chipset is under way with the support for Intel DRI/KMS.

As for VESA, I wonder what kind of output you would get from xrandr. Perhaps it would give you clues as to the range of possible resolutions the computer detects.
 
I recently got my laptop to work with a resolution of 1366:768. To do that you need the x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel driver, which however requires KMS support. To get it you need to recompile your kernel and world with 9 STABLE (cvs tage RELENG_9). For more details on what I did see

However once I was done and everything worked fine, I discovered that there is some significant overheating happening. Hopefully in your case things will work out better.
 
Yikes. I wonder if that is common place with this setup and FreeBSD. I haven't made the purchase yet and perhaps should wait a little while longer. I suppose this is better than the AMD counterparts, though, since their graphics support is nonexistent. In any case, thank you for giving me the update.
