interesting - are you specifically calling fbdev in your xorg.conf?
this is an unaccelerated driver i think, which leads me to believe that
the xf86-intel driver is not working for some reason.
what is the version of your xf86-intel driver? this is the version i am
using with my skylake system:
$ pkg info -f xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.20160614
xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.20160614
Name : xf86-video-intel
Version : 2.99.917.20160614
Installed on : Thu Jul 28 18:45:42 2016 PDT
Origin : x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
Architecture : freebsd:12:x86:64
<snip>
also this is the relevant section of my xorg for reference:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
