Hi, you should use x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb. This driver similar to VESA for UEFI mode. Also, there's branch for GPUs up to Haswell https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/Update%20i915%20GPU%20driver%20to%20Linux%203.8 N3050 use ValleyView graphics, if i'm not wrong; unfortunately it isn't supported yet.
