Does it work for anyone else? I suspect it won't since the userland driver
dropped KMS support a while ago.
In case it doesn't, my proposal would be to:
1- Switch console to Newcons
2- Switch userland driver to "i915kms"
For #1 we might want to wait until it's either been merged in 10-stable, or
maybe until it's tested for a while in kfreebsd-11 (or both...)
For #2 I guess we should wait until #1 is complete?
Please comment!
