--- Comment #7 from Niclas Zeising <zeising@FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi!
The issue is that packages for FreeBSD are built on the lowest common suppo=
rted
version.  This means that packages for FreeBSD 12 (both 12.0 and 12.1, as w=
ell
as 12-STABLE) are built on FreeBSD 12.0.
There has been a change somewhere in the time between 12.0 and 12.1 that ma=
kes
certain kernel modules, i915kms.ko is one of them (both drm-fbsd12.0-kmod a=
nd
drm-legacy-kmod) fail when loaded on a FreeBSD 12.1 kernel.
The best work around for this is to simply build the kernel module from por=
ts
on FreeBSD 12.1.  This is safe to do even on systems that otherwise use bin=
ary
packages.
This is a known issue, with no really good solution currently.
It has been discussed within the graphics team quite a lot, however, I was
unaware that this PR existed.
https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/issues/183 is the issue we have o=
pen
on github.
