Keep in mind that when kldloading i915 you won't have any tty because of the modesetting. The i915 will automatically set hw.dri.debug=2 which will slow down things, so I recommend you setting it to 0 if it works for you. It would also help using the last xorg (not the ports one) by checking out this: svn co http://trillian.chruetertee.ch/ports/browser/branches/xorg-dev I also recommend you to use this script to merge the xorg-dev tree: http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/xorg/xorgmerge the xorg dev tree includes latest libdrm and friends. In fact I would first recompile X and then try with the intel driver if I were you. I've tried a few different cards (the newest is a sandy-m) in that way with quite success. Gus
