interesting - are you specifically calling fbdev in your xorg.conf? 
this is an unaccelerated driver i think, which leads me to believe that 
the xf86-intel driver is not working for some reason.


what is the version of your xf86-intel driver?  this is the version i am 
using with my skylake system:

$ pkg info -f xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.20160614
xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.20160614
Name           : xf86-video-intel
Version        : 2.99.917.20160614
Installed on   : Thu Jul 28 18:45:42 2016 PDT
Origin         : x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
Architecture   : freebsd:12:x86:64
<snip>


also this is the relevant section of my xorg for reference:

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Card0"
         Driver      "intel"
         Option     "TearFree" "true"
         BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
