IIRC most changes in the WITH_NEW_XORG patchset are applied already in
sid/jessie.
Hopefully you can test it like this:
# kldload drm2 && kldload i915kms
(then, without looking; or via SSH from another machine)
# xinit
without a /etc/X11/xorg.conf it should automatically pick the right
driver for 3D acceleration. If KMS is not working, it will likely fall
back to the unaccelerated vesa driver.
You won't be able to get back to the console afterward. (Well, maybe if
you `kldunload i915kms` and run xinit again it will come back).
If you have any problems, the output of `dmesg` and your
/var/log/Xorg.0.log are most important. Any testing you do is very
helpful as this is a very desirable feature to enable for jessie.
If it works and you want to try a full desktop you could use `startx`
instead, but should only run that as a non-root user of course. Or try
to start the display manager e.g. `/etc/init.d/lightdm restart`
