external HDMI not detected Intel HD Graphics 5500

[rosorio]

Since I switched from FreeBSD 12.4 to 13.2 in my Thinkpad X1 carbon, I have issues with the external HDMI ports.
The laptop has 2 external video ports I use to have a 3 screens display, but in 13.2, the second HDMI (HDMI-2)
interface is never detected.

This is the inxi -aG output:

12.4 to 13.2

Was the issue immediately noticeable following the upgrade?

Any better with 14.0-RC4-p1? (No mention of HDMI in draft release notes, however I should not treat notes as comprehensive. <https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/111394547629038420>, for example.)

I didn't switch the laptop to 14, but in the meantime things start to improve in 13.
I think that the freebsd-upgrade and port upgrades helps, and now the second HDMI seems to be recognize more often,
and if I except the black screens caused by some HDMI activity every time they are turned on or leave sleep mode,
my desktop environment is quite usable.
