where it just can't connect to the DRI stuff.  Are you pre-loading the
KMS .ko?  UPDATING suggests that may be called for now:

    It is recommended to load the correct KMS driver (i915kms.ko or
    radeonkms.ko) via rc.conf, i.e. kld_list="i915kms.ko", to ensure
    correct functionality. Although the vendor drivers may attempt to
    load the correct drm driver, which does not always work, the
    modesetting driver assumes the required KMS driver is already
    loaded and will fail if there is none.
