are there any working drivers for the i915?

I'm unable to use X and friends on 12.1-STABLE on an
Intel based box (Sandy Bridge).
pkg install drm-kmod
followed by
echo 'kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"'>>/etc/rc.conf
on reboot results in a Fatal trap 9.
pkg delete drm-kmod, followed by a pkg install drm-legacy-kmod
leaving the same in rc.conf(5). Results in:
drmn0: This code is obsolete abandonware. Install the graphics/drm-legacy-kmod pkg
ermm... That's what I just did!
Attempting to use X and friends with the legacy kmod still
in place Results in most things crashing (dumping core on signal 11).
Has the i915 simply been dropped. But nobody bothered
to announce it?

Thanks in advance for any possible solutions.
