--- Comment #9 from Niclas Zeising <zeising at FreeBSD.org> ---
There is no need to build anything from source if you are following a RELEASE
branch.  Installing drm-kmod is all you need, it will pull in the correct
drm-*-kmod from ports.  For FreeBSD 13 that is drm-fbsd13-kmod.  If you are
tracking STABLE or CURRENT, then it is better to compile the module locally, to
avoid issues.  On the other hand, if you are tracking STABLE or CURRENT, you
need to recompile the whole base system and kernel, so I don't see why an extra
kmod would be that much extra effort.

There are several of us spending a substantial amount of our time and energy in
improving the FreeBSD desktop experience, everything on a volunteer basis.  I
can not speak for the offshoot projects, but they are using our effort as well,
as without it there would be no desktop experience in the first place.

dmesg is easily fetched by running dmesg.  There is also usually a file in
/var/log called dmesg.boot, that saves the latest dmesg.

You say that you are not using the drm driver.  Are you then using plain vesa
or sc without any acceleration at all?  That should work, but does not give
such great performance and experience.

Do you have any xorg.conf or similar?  If so, can you try without it?
