You are currently using a software renderer.
This _might_ be one of the few cases where kld_list in rc.conf
does not work. Try to manually load the modules after system
startup, but before X is started (for example, via /etc/rc.local).
On the one system with Intel graphics (Lenovo Thinkpad R61i)
I have this entry in /boot/loader.conf:
i915kms_load="YES"
I have the "xf86-video-intel" package installed.
Then I'm starting X without xorg.conf (via "startx" command),
and in "glxinfo" output I get this:
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086) <=== HERE
Device: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2 (0x2a02) <=== AND HERE
Version: 17.3.1
Accelerated: yes <===================== AND FINALLY THIS ENTRY!
Video memory: 384MB
Unified memory: yes
Preferred profile: compat (0x2)
Max core profile version: 0.0
Max compat profile version: 2.1
Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
Max GLES[23] profile version: 2.0
This is quite different from your output where "VMWare" is
being listed...
