I have updated my 12.0 current system to 330866 today and am trying to get X
to run again. I had been running the drm-next version for sometime now and
since the drm-next-kmod port had been merged into the ports tree and it had
been almost a year since I last updated this system I thought it would be wise
to update.

Unfortunately it's not been going well so far. I rebuilt and installed the
latest kernel, updated all the ports, and installed the graphics/drm-next-kmod
port but still no joy.


My system is an Intel NUC with this hardware configuration:

Here's what I get in the Xorg.0.log file when I run startx:

My devices section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

and the 'pciconf -lv' ouput for the graphics adapter is:

vgapci0 at pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x20578086 chip=0x162b8086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Iris Graphics 6100'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

My 'uname -a' output:

FreeBSD tavion.austin.ibm.com 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #1 r330866: Tue Mar 13 15:26:12 CDT 2018     bob at tavion.austin.ibm.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/TAVION  amd64

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my workstation in the office
and I really need X Windows to work.

Thanks,
Bob
