Xorg (VESA) on Broadwell laptop -- no clean exit...

W

web

I have a new laptop with an Intel Core i7-5600U Broadwell CPU on board.

I have learned that Xorg does not yet support the Broadwell hardware for graphics.

Therefore I am reduced to using VESA support.

When I start an Xorg session, things seem to run fine, but when I exit this Xorg session the laptop is hung and there is nothing I can do but reboot the laptop!

On other systems, when I exit my Xorg session, I am dropped back into my CLI (tcsh) session from which I started my (now ended) Xorg session. What to do?
 
It might not really be locked up, just not showing what is typed. Type startx and it might work. Even if not, enabling vt(4) could fix the problem. Add it to /boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
 
I have ASUS X555LJ on Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4005U with Intel Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller.
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel not support Graphics Controller (chip=0x0a168086) and I use x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa.
X is work, but after exit from X screen "frozen".
I set in /boot/loader.conf
kern.vty=vt
but situation not change.
P.S.: I do it exit as CTRL+ALT+F2 (where starting) and enter CTRL+C
