(removing freebsd-stable_at_ from this reply since this is a current system)

interesting, so Xorg complains about no displays being present if i
understand correctly?

can you verify that the i915 module is being loaded at boot, kld stat
should show something like this:
$ kldstat |grep i915
 7    1 0xffffffff82f38000 11f615   i915kms.ko

If it is present, can you also verify that you are a member of the
"video" group?  And failing that it will be helpful to post your dmesg
and Xorg.log.0 to help triage this.

Cheers,
-pete
