(removing freebsd-stable@ from this reply since this is a current system) interesting, so Xorg complains about no displays being present if i understand correctly? can you verify that the i915 module is being loaded at boot, kld stat should show something like this: $ kldstat |grep i915  7    1 0xffffffff82f38000 11f615   i915kms.ko If it is present, can you also verify that you are a member of the "video" group?  And failing that it will be helpful to post your dmesg and Xorg.log.0 to help triage this.
