Hi guys,
I'm new to FreeBSD. I recently installed FreeBSD 12 on my system with a Coffee Lake i5 9600k CPU and integrated Intel UHD 630 graphics. The install went smoothly, but when I try running startx I get the strange error message: "Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs". I know from reading the forum that this is a common issue, usually caused by problems with the video drivers. I have tried installing/uninstalling/reinstalling various packages including xorg, xf86-video-intel, and drm-kmod. I know that it is finding the driver, since I see i915kms.ko listed via kldstat. I tried installing drm-kmod-next and writing kld_list = "/boot/modules/i915kms.ko" in /etc/rc.conf as some have suggested, but it made no difference. I also get a strange error when I try Xorg -configure: "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed."
Questions:
1. Any ideas for what I should try next?
2. Is the issue simply that processor is too new? I'm a bit skeptical that this is the problem, since the graphics engine was basically unchanged between Skylake and Coffee Lake.
