The only way to have KMS support in 9.1 right now is to build with WITH_NEW_XORG=true and WITH_KMS=true in your make.conf, do you have these flags enabled? Another good check (right now) is to switch to a text console VT switching is not enabled so the screen will stay black (See https://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU) You will also have i915kms.ko loaded I am not a X11 dev, I just use the driver day to day so sorry I can't give you a better technical answer!
