I see. Currently I'm using the stock 9.1 release kernel. It is rather
painful to compile something on that laptop (Pentium M with ~1 GHz).

I'll have access to the machine only this Friday. Then I'll check the thing with the text console. Thanks!

The only way to have KMS support in 9.1 right now is to build with
WITH_NEW_XORG=true and WITH_KMS=true in your make.conf, do you have
these flags enabled?

Another good check (right now) is to switch to a text console VT
switching is not enabled so the screen will stay black
(See https://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU)

You will also have i915kms.ko loaded

I am not a X11 dev, I just use the driver day to day so sorry I can't
give you a better technical answer!

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 9.1 on an old IBM Thinkad X30 equiped with
Intel 830MG graphics chip (gen 2). The graphics works fine, but I'm
wondering
if the driver really uses KMS or just switches back to some legacy routine.

Is there any way I can check it?

Cheers,
Vladyslav
