The modesetting driver should be built and installed in all cases, on=20
all versions of FreeBSD.  devd is still the default on FreeBSD 11, but=20
udev is the default on 12 and later.
If you still have the package (the actual .txz file) it might be=20

strange that it hasn't been installed by default.  There have been no=20
reports from the pkg build cluster about the xorg packages either.
