I had to rebuild world a few days ago since running system and kernel sources were out of sync (which failed some ports), so I'm running a 9.2 pre-release system now, and the Intel driver works fine, with gdm/gnome and without xorg.conf. There is a possibility it might have worked by rebuilding world to 9.1 release, but I never tried. This is something I've experienced before, e.g. sound only working when rebuilding the whole system, even when the running system was at the same code revision level. Some things are not quite right yet, though. E.g. Fn-F7 (= LCD backlight dim) sends the laptop into hibernation from which it doesn't recover, despite producing some interesting colour patterns on the screen [close lid + open lid = power button blinking]. It wold be nice if FBSD had the same level of function key support (acpi?) as Linux on this machine (T530).
