Solved Intel 4500MHD on ThinkPad T400, X not working

C

Hello FreeBSD community!

I installed FreeBSD-11 on ThinkPad T400 and now I'm trying to get Xorg to work.

This laptop has two graphic cards - integrated 4500MHD and discrete Radion HD 3470. The discrete card is working just fine (with radeon driver) if I select it in the BIOS as the only graphics.

Buf If I select the integrated Intel card and use the intel driver, Xorg is failing to start.

This is my /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-intel.conf file:

Code: 
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "intel"
EndSection

This appears in dmesg after the first attempt to start X:
Code: 
info: [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
drmn0: <Mobile Intel\M-B\M-. GM45 Express Chipset> on vgapci0
error: [drm:pid762:drm_get_minor] *ERROR* Failed to create cdev: 17
device_attach: drmn0 attach returned -17

My loader.conf:
Code: 
aesni_load="YES"
geom_eli_load="YES"
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
zfs_load="YES"
acpi_ibm_load="YES"
cpufreq_load="YES"
i915_load="YES"
kern.vty=vt

Any ideas? What might be wrong?

Btw, I've installed Xorg from pkg. I've read about all this WITH_NEW_XORG and WITH_KMS thing, but, as I understood, WITH_NEW_XORG is already a default in FreeBSD-11, and I don't need to rebuild it manually from ports, am I right about this?
 
I believe in your /boot/loader.conf you have to use
Code: 
i915kms_load="YES"
and you don't need
Code: 
i915_load="YES"
kern.vty=vt
(vt is the default in FreeBSD-11).
 
Yes, adding
Code: 
i915kms_load="YES"
instead of
Code: 
i915_load="YES"
did the trick, thank you!
