drm-kmod startup error

[Sid]

Including VESA, SC or all video drivers in the KERNCONF for building a custom kernel fixed it. drm-kmod was then built from ports.

Before, I tried a cleanslate for both updated ports and packages. An older ports version for these kernel modules didn't require VESA or SC KERNCONF settings. Likely VESA. It's updated Releng, and as mentioned 11.2. That gave enough insight to fix this problem. Thanks.
