Dear Nicolas,

neither Haswell nor Broadwell iGPUs are currently supported by any
version of FreeBSD with the intel driver. However, work is underway by
some developers (kib@, dumbbell@) to make this happen. Please see
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics for up-to-date status/information of
all things graphics.

Depending on your requirements, you can use the vesa driver with
software rendering in the mean time.

HTH

Johannes
