I have it working on a GMA950 (945M) on i386.

You can see the code in the tree at
src/sys/dev/drm and src/sys/dev/pci/drm.

At this point a rather limited set of hardware is working well on
i386 in -current. Most of the success seems to be w/ Intel 900
series and older-ish ATI Radeon parts.  I don't have a Core 2,
so I haven't tried amd64.  I believe there is someone working
on amd64 support, but I'm not aware of the details.  The pkgsrc bits
were the roughest part of it the last I set this up a month or two ago.
