Intel-driver failure after upgrade to 11.0 Release

Upgraded from 10.3 til 11.0 release using the procedure for 
Freebsd-Update given with the release announcement.

When restarting and starting up X, the monitor switches off and claims 
there is no signal. I have done no changes from the functioning 10.3 
installation other than upgrading.

When I switch to Vesa driver i get X up and running and the machine 
performs as usual, but with poor graphic quality as you would expect 
from Vesa.


Google have given me no clues yet, and there does not seem to have been 
changes in the Intel driver for 11.0 release as far as I have been able 
to find out.

The machine is a standard Dell Optiplex 960 SFF that has run at least 
the whole FreeBSD 10.x range, possibly 9.3 flawlessly with the standard 
x11 intel driver.


Does anybody have a clue what hinders me from using the intel driver 
succesfully ?

I can provide file outputs if needed.


Blessed be,
