I always load it via rc.conf(5) and it works just fine. You're right. From https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics Example Configuration For Post Broadwell System A common configuration is a user who has an Intel laptop with a Kabylake Intel i915 HD Graphics chip. To enable the chipset one would follow these instructions: Install the drm-kmod package $ sudo pkg install drm-kmod Take note of the post-install package message as it contains important information - specifically add this to your /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.d/intel file: kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko" Ensure your UID is a member of the "video" group. Restart your system; you should see the i915kms.ko get loaded and a flash on your console as we switch over to the new display driver. Start Xorg via your usual method (i.e. startx, GDM, etc.) -- Violets are red And roses are blue When metamaterials Alter their hue.
