UHD Graphics 630 on 12.2-RELEASE

Hi there
I am currently spending some time on a script that can be used post-install with
Bash:
fetch https://tsd.ovh/c.txt -o - | csh
It installs pkg, some tools, creates a user, some scripts and if it's run on my box (lenovo thinkcentre m720 tiny with i5-9400t, intel UHD Graphics 630) it installs additionally the drm-kmod package and writes the kld_list entry in rc.conf.
The script is not yet complete and may still contain errors, i would not admit to use it for now, but on FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE on my box it works in sense of after the reboot drm and i915kms get loaded and giving me three active screens and xorg with i3 (if installed) working properly.
On the FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE somehow the same thing results in three black screens after the module load without any chance to do anything afterwards.
Did i miss something or did something change inbetween those releases like defaults or i don't know what?
Next up i will probably try to start sshd to be able to read on the messages while doing a kldload to find out more, but does anyone yet has an idea what it could be all about?
 
Ah ok, so kinda classic „what have i done wrong?“ „you took the most recent version“ (; despite from not building on your own...
 
I can tell you I will wait 12.1 EOL before upgrade. This problem with DRM comes in almost all minor versions of FreeBSD. I don't know who's to blame, but that sucks, really.

toni,

Did you manage to get UHD Graphics 630 working correctly with maximum resolution? I have the ASUS Prime B360M-A w/ i5 unlocked and 12.1 didn't work for me.

If 12.2 works; I would be excited to give it another install. Please let me know! Thank you.
