I had to reboot my system this morning (power outage over the weekend forced
it) and now X won't start, failing with these error msgs from the Xorg.log:
[ 143.327] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

This is on an Intel NUC system with a i7-5557U (Broadwell) CPU. The uname -a
output is:
FreeBSD tavion.austin.ibm.com 10.3-STABLE FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE #3 r315638: Mon Mar 20 11:44:00 CDT 2017 root at tavion.austin.ibm.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TAVION amd64
This system has been running with the scfb frame buffer driver for a couple of
years now with X running fine (if a bit slow).
I just updated my ports 3/14 to revision 436172. Hadn't rebooted till today.
I updated the system this morning hoping that would help, but no such luck as
I still get the same failure.
Note that I am loading the i915kms.ko module as instructed in the
/usr/ports/UPDATING file (have been doing that all along) so it would seem
that I've run into something else.
Also, reading the FreeBSD wiki for SCFB I added this file in
/usr/local/bin/etc/xorg.conf.d/driver-scfb.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "scfb"
EndSection
Without any descernable change.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. This is my office workstation
and not having X running is a real downer.
