There should be a more elegant way to do this, but the way I did it
was to:
# pkg_delete -f xf86-video-i810-1.7.4
# cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xorg-drivers
# make rmconfig
# make config
[untick i180 and tick intel]
# portupgrade -f xorg-drivers
After which, X on my laptop started behaving as it should.
