Solved Sanity check please. Xorg won't start at all on new hardware before 11.2?

I have 2 computers that I know need the new drm and updated i915 drives that are due to drop in 11.2. I haven't tried to back-port (but I've seen the instructions for compiling drm-next). In anticipation of this I loaded xorg (pkg install xorg) on the computers and tried to start it (hoping it would flip to the not accelerated version). Both fail to load X11 at all and give an error.

Is this normal at this point? If so, I can wait for FreeBSD 11.2. In case it isn't:

It may work with the vesa driver but will probably be painfully slow. If you install xf86-video-vesa there's a pretty good chance X will at least start.
But yes, for computers less than 3 or 4 years old, 11.2 will be a better choice. For what it's worth, I'm running it on a couple of laptops (but not doing anything too special with them) and the 11.2-RC2 is not giving me any issues. I'm not sure what the xorg package has, I usually install xorg-server, xinit xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse, and, on older laptops xf86-video-intel, dwm and rxvt-unicode. The newer laptop I have is running 11.2-RC2 so it uses drm-next-kmod.
