Solved Intel Alder Lake does not start the graphics card with FBSD14.2

I mean that I didn't need to install Emrion or Charlie_'s repos simply because this time I didn't install drm-515-kmod, but I installed the ports drm-61-kmod and drm-kmod and so I was able to lift the graphic without problems, after countless 14.2 installations.

Code: 
$ pkg version -o -v | grep drm
graphics/drm-61-kmod               =   up-to-date with port
graphics/drm-kmod                  =   up-to-date with port
graphics/libdrm                    =   up-to-date with port

I simply added .ko to the end of kld_list=“i915.kms.ko” from sysrc
Code:

That's all.

Sometimes, depending on the kmod version and maybe on your hardware, it may work with the next FreeBSD release.

There is no point to set i915kms.ko instead of i915kms in kld_list because it's the same file i915kms.ko.

No point again, I think, to install both drm-kmod and drm-61-kmod because the second is a dependency of the first.

graphics/drm-kmod
Runtime dependencies:
  1. gpu-firmware-kmod>=20220511 : graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod
  2. drm.ko : graphics/drm-61-kmod

I hope that this solution will find its way in the future upgrades and default installations. So, everyone will forget this problem.
 
Hi Emrion!

I know and it is just as you say, but for my hardware it worked this way and I think that is the important thing.

Thank you very much for your attention and your experience!

Images at the boot menu can be displayed only in frame buffer. If the system is BIOS, it must support Vesa BIOS Extension (VBE) ( VT(vbefb): ). UEFI firmware does support frame buffer ( VT(efifb): ): dmesg | grep 'VT(' .

From the opening post #1, save beastie in browser on local system, i.e daemon.png, mv daemon.png /boot/images.

Code: 
# cd /boot/lua
# cp gfx-orb.lua gfx-daemon.lua
# sed -i '' 's/freebsd-logo-rev.png/daemon.png/' gfx-daemon.lua

and if it works, it will make your bootlogo look nicer.
