freebsd 8.2 install notes for 880GMA-UD2H

This motherboard has AMD 880G chipset ( with Ati Radeon 4250 graphics card ) and
FreeBSD 8.2 doesn’t give out-of-box drm support for this card.
I don’t expect playing games but without it i was not able to watch movies at full-screen.

There is a solution ,
but i couldn’t find those files in my installation.
After some searches and using same logic,
i added the last line below to the /usr/src/sys/dev/drm/drm_pciids.h file.

{0×1002, 0×9713, CHIP_RS880|RADEON_IS_MOBILITY|RADEON_NEW_MEMMAP|RADEON_IS_IGP, “ATI Mobility Radeon 4100″}, \
{0×1002, 0×9714, CHIP_RS880|RADEON_NEW_MEMMAP|RADEON_IS_IGP, “ATI RS880″}, \
{0×1002, 0×9715, CHIP_RS880|RADEON_NEW_MEMMAP|RADEON_IS_IGP, “ATI Radeon HD 4250″}, \

After building kernel, xvinfo was able to return detailed info and
mplayer was playing videos at full-screen but maybe 3-4 times faster than normal and there was not sound.
Someway this is related audio device.
Adding this line below to the /etc/sysctl.conf file solves the problem.
hw.snd.default_unit=1
