At this point I think I am more looking for guidance than thinking there is 
any combination that is going to work with this system. Never the less, I 
have the following setup:

vgapci1@pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x380a17aa chip=0x191b8086 
rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = 'HD Graphics 530'
     class      = display
--
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0:     class=0x030200 card=0x380b17aa chip=0x134710de 
rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
     device     = 'GM108M [GeForce 940M]'
     class      = display

Packages
    xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.914,1
    xf86-video-scfb-0.0.5_2
    xf86-video-vesa-2.5.
    xorg-7.7_3
    drm-fbsd11.2-kmod-4.11g20200420
    drm-kmod-g20190710

In /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
    driver-intel.conf
       Section "Device"
         Identifier "Card0"
         Driver     "intel"
         BusID      "PCI:0:2:0"
       EndSection

    screen-resolution.conf
       Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"
         Device     "Card0"
         SubSection "Display"
         Modes      "1920x1080"
         EndSubSection
    EndSection

startx yields
    [224.924] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
    [224.951] (==) No Layout section.  Using the first Screen section.

   Using a default monitor configuration.

I take this to mean I did neither file correctly

I also have tried just starting with no configuration and with 'Xorg 
-configure' as well as the above. All yield similar errors. I also 
installed nvidia-driver-440.100_1 and tried running in Linux mode. I would 
not think this would work as the 11.4/12.2 hardware notes do not list the 
GM108M [GeForce 940M] as being supported. I found a post on the forum that 
specifically said it was not.

All the above is really background for my questions: (1) Hopefully I did 
the conf files incorrectly (2) I had to configure this system as a legacy 
BIOS boot. Does that matter? (3) Is my best course to wait for 7.7_4 or 
beyond. (4) I can use this system as a test server of course. But what have 
I missed (in general)?

I am quite lost any thing else to try or another course of action would be 
greatly appreciated.
