Bzzzt! Please do not send innocent victims into the hal nightmare.
That package is *not* needed and *should be avoided whenever possible*.

Yeah? Good luck with that. One it has the graphics device, I
doubt it will allow itself to be unloaded. A reboot will most likely
be necessary.

It shouldn't be necessary to load drm.ko manually.

There can be problems with the above method of loading this, IIRC.
Using
kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"
in /etc/rc.conf.local (or /etc/rc.conf if you don't separate your own
added choices from the system's) is the preferred method.

Note that manual configuration should be used only as a last resort.
Most users should let xorg autoconfigure unless there is a problem in
getting particular devices, fonts, drivers, etc. recognized or for special
screen, keyboard, and/or pointing device setups.

Not true AFAIK. I don't do that, and it works just fine.

Yes, this one most likely does need to be specified for Intel's
integrated graphics.
