I don't know for certain, but I have an i865 motherboard (model number
unknown) inside a small PC housing, and it shows me:

and I use the standard i810 XF86 driver. I've not tried NetBSD 1.6.2,
I'm running -current on this box.

XF86 is standard xsrc, i.e. XF86 4.4.0:

(II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100,
        i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0
(--) Chipset 865G found

IIRC, the only funny was the 10/100 fxp on this board, and Matthias
Drochner added the necessary glue in March for this to get recognised
automatically (it wasn't in GENERIC, IIRC).
