Maybe we misunderstood each other, somewhere. Sorry.

This might happen if you have the installer (not a completed installation) in single user mode.

I wonder whether you do have a problem with a disk or related hardware.

Ultimate Boot CD - Download the UBCD near the foot of the page, options to download an ISO for this set of utilities. The Lyra Hosting mirror works (for me):

Write the UBCD ISO to CD, or a USB flash drive, then boot from UBCD.

Amongst the options, when you boot UBCD, Parted Magic includes GSmartControl, a S.M.A.R.T.-capable utility. After booting Parted Magic, a Disk Health icon (for GSmartControl):

The GSmartControl window will appear something like this, with an option to use self-test features of a disk:

Did you install graphics/drm-kmod?
Click to expand...

unicorn next:
  1. sysrc -x hald_enable
  2. pkg install graphics/drm-kmod
  3. kldload i915kms
Do you see a brief 'flicker' of the screen, when the i915kms kernel module loads?

hald_enable yes

Please, where did you read something about HAL or hald? Can you let us have the address of the page?

(Wherever you read the advice: it's wrong – outdated.)

Also:
  • your /boot/loader.conf might have some peculiarities
  • people sometimes encounter difficulties with SLiM
– however for now, let's take things in small steps.

Reference

sysrc(8)

Why are you trying to remove hald_enable from kld_list? sysrc -x hald_enable

Code: 
     -x       Remove variable(s) from specified file(s).
sysrc(8).

snd_hda_load and sound_load can be removed too. They don't belong in rc.conf (they should go in /boot/loader.conf). Both are loaded by default with a GENERIC kernel and don't need to be explicitly loaded.

I can now run startx and go into TWM.How to use other WM like gnome and xfce?
I don't familiar with TWM,any documentation I can read?
 
For xfce you don't need startx as it comes with its own startup script. startxfce4
Get your video right then pkg install xfce
 
After upgrade to 13.1 RC1,I cannot start x again.When run kldload i915kms,there is no fliker any more,
startx cannot work either
 
Afaik there is a kernel mismatch again for the drm drivers from packages when upgrading from 13 REL to 13.1-RC.

All that you have to do is to remove drm-kmod and pkg autoremove then build drm-kmod from ports.
