Even though the screen is blank, could you try running `xinit` or
`startx` to see if that changes the display mode? Also look to see if
Num/Caps-lock LEDs change as you do this.
Otherwise, you may need to SSH into the machine from another.
My Radeon card does the same thing right after I run `kldload
radeonkms`, even with the right firmware available. But the system is
still responsive and I can (blindly) start X - this turns the display
back on - but it fails to detect/use KMS so it still runs with
unaccelerated vesa graphics currently.
I already use libdrm2/2.4.46-4, so maybe I need to try with newer Xorg.
I have no Intel graphics hardware to test with.
