xorg-7.7_3 and freebsd 12.2

First I'm gonna continue with the top post. So first thank you for your 
ideas, I did RTFM before answering below.

No xorg-7.7_3=X.Org complete distribution metaport. If this were a problem 
the one I installed around 10AM Saturday had the drivers and the one 
installed later Saturday did not. Remember I had a working system except 
for paste by mouse. In the current setup libdrm-2.4.103,1 is installed.

The easy answer would be as above and the fact that I had a working system 
xserver-wise until running configure (if I had not done that I do not know 
if I would believe me either BTW).  But that said, it is the first error. 
So how would I test this? I do have: xorg-drivers-7.7_6, and 
xf86-video-vesa-2.5.0 installed via the xorg package.

installed is:
    root at mneme:/usr/local # find . -type f -name "*intel*"
    ./include/libdrm/intel_aub.h
    ./include/libdrm/intel_bufmgr.h
    ./include/libdrm/intel_debug.h
    ./include/vulkan/vulkan_intel.h
    ./libdata/pkgconfig/libdrm_intel.pc
    ./share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json
    ./lib/libdrm_intel.so.1.0.0
    ./lib/libvulkan_intel.so

The ports tree has the following:
    xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.914,1
    x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel29
    x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis-intel

None of the above are installed. Forcing the vesa driver would probably 
also work but clearly I do not know how to break the xorg.conf output 
apart. If x.org addresses any of this I can't find the URL. Predictably 
google gets one Ubuntu answers.
