I'd like to revive this since the issue is topical for the 'happy'
owners of IGDNG.

I observed the same issue as the Jaap Boender. Additional data can be
found bellow:

dmesg: http://pastebin.org/402960
pciconf -lv: http://pastebin.org/402963

I've also noticed that guys from linux world stuck with similar issu
some time ago and they told that this simple patch fixed it for them:
http://people.canonical.com/~hzhang/554569/i915-fix-ironlake-edp-panel-setup-v2.patch

So, I'm not sure, but it could be connected somehow with embedded
Display Port (eDP) timings handling. And that made me think that there
is a slight chance to get it worked with intel-2.9.1 driver (w/o
acceleration but it is way better then vesa anyway).

Unfortunately due to the lack of knowledge I could not find relevant
piece of code in freebsd's sources to give it a try. Could smb. point me
where it is worth to dig (i.e. prove/decline that it will/won't work).

Thanks in advance.
