I had a similar problem last week. After an update, the intel driver stop=
ped
working and xorg used the vesa driver instead.
I then found out that the i915kms wasn't loaded automatically anymore.
All how-to articles warned "do not add the module to loader.conf, because=
a failure
may render your system inoperable. Instead add the module to /etc/rc.conf=
".
I tested the module with kldload and it worked, so I added the module to =
rc.conf
("kld_list=3D"i915kms") and everything was fine.
