Hi,

I had the same issue the first time I've built Xorg, when I've first read:
"As of revision r235859 of FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT, no patches should be
needed to get GEM/KMS. See Intel_GPU
<https://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU> for more details." at
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Xorg

I assume It worked out of the box just b installing Xorg...

Intel_GPU <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU> page however pointed me
to the right direction, which is:
WITH_NEW_XORG=true and WITH_KMS=true to /etc/make.conf.  and then
rebuild (portmaster -f for example) and it now starts.

I still have some problems though... I can't switch to console with
CRTL+ALT+F1...2..3... etc I get a very weired screen, like my kde all
nuts... the good thing is I can at least switch back to kde.
I also noted that at shutdown/reboot I get a black screen .... nothing
shows on screen, I just have to wait for it to turn off... I get the
feeling that this is somehow related!

Please note that I'm using a Acer S3 Ultrabook with a integrated Intel
card... AMD info is here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/AMD_GPU
