I got the same on my Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop which has an i830M too.

NetBSD has no agp support for i830 chipset.
I'm currently trying to make it work :

[...]
pchb0: Intel 82830MP CPU to I/O Bridge 1 (rev. 0x04)
agp0 at pchb0: aperture at 0xe8000000, size 0x8000000
vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0: Intel 82830MP Integrated Video (rev. 0x04)
[...]

Try to add the following lines to the `Module' section in your config
file :

        Load  "xaa"
        Load  "ddc"


I already tried it on my laptop, but with no luck :
