Hi Thomas,
after discussion with Niclas and I explained him that 12.1-RELEASE works but 12-STABLE not, he mentioned to build and install "drm-fbsd12.0-kmod" from ports, but also "gpu-firmware-kmod" from ports (instead of prebuild pkg), what fixed the issue in my case. Now startx and i3 works fine.
Here how I installed the two ports; https://github.com/NilsJohannsen/BSD-Journal/blob/master/desktop/drm/install-drm-intel.sh
Here my hardware probe: https://bsd-hardware.info/index.php?probe=2e8c0ef401
Regards, Nils

I don't think this is the root cause. I am seeing the exact same issue
after upgrading a Sandy Bridge machine with on-chip-GPU to a recent
-STABLE. Worked perfectly fine before with the abandonware-i915kms in
base as well as with drm-legacy-kmod. Now both are showing a mere
black screen, just like Nils reported. Maybe the recent MFCs of
linuxkpi stuff broke something. I'll build some kernels and modules
and see if I find the issue. Meanwhile, if it's been discovered (and
fixed) already, let me know.
