After an update, the intel driver stop= ped working and xorg used the vesa driver instead. I then found out that the i915kms wasn't loaded automatically anymore. All how-to articles warned "do not add the module to loader.conf, because= a failure may render your system inoperable. Instead add the module to /etc/rc.conf= ". I tested the module with kldload and it worked, so I added the module to = rc.conf ("kld_list=3D"i915kms") and everything was fine. > I rebooted, and after the first few boot messages, the monitor went > black and the system froze.
