FreeBSD 12, Intel i5 Graphics not working

Hello all,

I have just recently upgraded from 11.2 to 12.0 and my graphics settings are now borked. Previously I had the terminal resolution set to 1280x720 with this code in /boot/loader.conf

It was using this:

Code:
i915kms_load="YES"
kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1280x720"

if I load it in manually after booting and loading it with kldload i915kms, it works just fine, otherwise it doesn't load at boot.

My most recent portion of dmesg is below (with edits):

Install drm-legacy-kmod and add

kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"

To rc.conf. It will load the module after the init process starts. Comment out the module load line but leave the by mode line in loader.conf.
 
Hi GregTheHun,

There is a reference to i915kms in /boot/defaults/loader.conf (note - this file is read first before /boot/loader.conf) as it is blacklisted by module_blacklist=.

From 12.0-RELEASE Release Notes.
6.3. Deprecated Drivers
.....
“The DRM driver for modern graphics chipsets has been marked deprecated and marked for removal in FreeBSD 13. The DRM kernel modules are available from graphics/drm-stable-kmod or graphics/drm-legacy-kmod in the Ports Collection as well as via pkg(8). Additionally, the kernel modules have been added to the lua loader.conf(5) module_blacklist, as installation from the Ports Collection or pkg(8) is strongly recommended.”

Install the module from ports/pkg and put an entry to /etc/rc.conf. I presume with kld_list=, but I'm not sure.
