--- Comment #1 from Johannes Lundberg <johalun0 at gmail.com> ---
When in doubt try,

# pkg delete drm-kmod-legacy
# pkg delete xf86-video-intel
# pkg install drm-kmod

Move away stuff that could cause issues
# mv /boot/kernel/drm.ko /root/
# mv /boot/kernel/drm2.ko /root/
# mv /boot/kernel/i915kms.ko /root/
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /root/xorg.conf
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.d /root/

Clear any module loading and sysctl entries for graphics drivers from
/boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf.
Disconnect external/multiple displays
Reboot

# kldload i915kms
# kldstat -v (confirm that drm.ko and i915kms.ko are loaded from /boot/modules)
# startx

Haswell is definitely supported by the new drivers and a default, empty
configuration should be sufficient to have functional X and VTs. In most cases,
the error is due to conflicts with existing older drm drivers, intel ddx or
misconfiguration. 

If this still doesn't work we need to troubleshoot further. Maybe some quirks
with that specific GPU?
