Re: Does KMS work with gen 2 Intel graphics on FreeBSD 9.1?
It seems that KMS is indeed not enabled. VT switching works and the driver loaded is just i915. Thanks for your help!

Re: Does KMS work with gen 2 Intel graphics on FreeBSD 9.1?
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!

Re: Does KMS work with gen 2 Intel graphics on FreeBSD 9.1?
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!
