After reboot my xorg would not come up.
This video helped.
I did also reinstall all packages with pkg-static upgrade -f

pkg install -y drm-kmod
make sure user is in video group
sysrc kld_list+=i915kms ## this command was new to me
pw groupmod video -m g ## my user called g


note all this was in place before the upgrade since I used same video a year ago.....
so not sure what really made this work...perhaps the pkg static?
 
Make sure the DRM drivers have .150100 version string, they should be installed/upgraded from the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository, those are specifically built for 15.1. The packages in FreeBSD-ports repository are built for 15.0.
