I have the same issue on one machine running FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE with i915. It makes no difference if I use i915kms.ko from /boot/modules or from /boot/kernel. I have tried awesome, dwm and twm using startx. When I exit the window manager the keyboard lights get off and do not work anymore.

The keyboard has no function here, too. When I press the power button of the PC the system shuts down properly. This seems to be a different configuration issue. What I can do to leave X and drop into a console: 1. Either change to a different console by CRTL-ALT-F2 or so and pkill xinit. 2. Open a X terminal and do pkill xinit. > > > During this time, ssh to the VM works as expected; no X11 process are > > running at this point.

Altman I have expected to be a victim of my old hardware. But this seems not to be the case. A different ancient laptop with a radeon graphics card still works as expected. Kind regards, Christoph
