I should have been more clear with the 13-CURRENT thing, I haven't loaded
the intel driver yet just the framebuffer load correctly. The only thing
related to drm in dmesg is a message saying "drm loaded" late in the boot
process. According to linux the adaptor is "VGA compatible controller:
Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile)."
