I think that's the problem. i915kms.ko is the kernel module for graphics processors integrated in Intel CPUs, but it gets tricky. This is an ongoing problem, since drm-kmod is distributed as ports/packages, not with the kernel, but it's part of the kernel and has to match it. There are currently three versions of it: 5.10 FreeBSD 13 5.15 FreeBSD 14 6.1 FreeBSD 15 The port drm-kmod is a meta-port, that automatically selects the right version. The package version of that meta-port apparently is drm-kmod-20220907_3. The meta-port/package also installs GPU firmware, which you need. So you compiled and installed the meta-port drm-kmod, which compiled and installed drm-515-kmod and a lot of GPU firmware ports? If you installed from packages rather than ports, that's supposed to work, but doesn't always, in my experience, I think because of version mismatches. It's more reliable to compile at least the kernel module port, in this case drm-515-kmod. Also, just checking, did you load the kernel module with this line in /etc/rc.conf? kld_list=i915kms.ko
