Black screen with Vesa on Dell Intel graphics amd64

[Lundberg, Johannes]

Hi

Thanks for the feedback. With Intel driver X doesn't start at all. I can
look into this more later but for now Vesa will do fine for my needs.

The thing is, the screen is just black with the Vesa driver and I can't
return to console.
The window manager and X seems to be running fine if I log in with ssh and
run "top".
The almost exact same setup but freebsd10-i386 and Intel HD4000, not
freebsd10-amd64 and Intel HD2000, works fine with Vesa driver.

Is there some problem with running X with amd64 compared to i386 version
that I should be aware of?

By the way, both machines are 64 bit hardware but I need to run
freebsd-amd64 on one of them. Otherwise I would choose freebsd-i386 which
seems to be more stable running X.
