After loading i915kms, > the console still works? Unfortunately no. I can't switch to any of the text consoles no matter if I use -9, -10 or -11. I know that upstream is aware of this issue, so I didn't file a separate bug report. https://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU "The VT switching code is not implemented (yet). In fact, the real cause is that driver turns on modesetting right after the load. This way, it is easier for me to test the driver. Eventually, this will be changed." The auto-loaded i915 kernel module seems to be rather useless but then the text consoles do work at least.
