Are the Intel Ivy Bridge HD2500 graphics supported with FreeBSD?

I have tried to get it working but the result is less than desirable. When Xorg starts there are tons of artifacts but after 10 seconds everything is clear. When I move the windows it is very slow to the point it is unusable. This is what I have been doing:
  1. Add this to /etc/make.conf
    Code: 
    WITH_KMS=yes
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
  2. Install subversion and get the code from releng/9.1/
  3. make buildkernel && make installkernel
  4. reboot
  5. install x11/xorg

Am I doing something wrong? This post seemed to conclude that HD 2500 did not work right for unknown reasons: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=38404http://. I have been able to install OpenBSD-current and the graphics worked fine with KSM but I would rather run FreeBSD than OpenBSD.
 
I have x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel installed and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is set to use the Intel driver. I thought graphics/libdrm would automatically enable KMS because I had
Code: 
WITH_KMS=yes
in my /etc/make.conf but I will try again. I think KMS is working because once X starts I can not access the TTYs. I will try this again and see if I get any new results.
