Hello.
A few months ago I sent an e-mail to this mailing list and reported
about problems related to starting X on FreeBSD when using EFI mode. I
"fixed" that problem by using the "scfb" driver from ports.
Today I, using "Xorg -configure", was playing around with the intel
driver, since my Mac has a built-in Intel HD 3000 graphics card as well
as a Radeon HD 6770M.
For some reason, when I attempt to start X with the intel driver, the
screen freezes. However, if I start X using scfb and then manually load
the i915kms kernel module, the system works perfectly fine until I leave
X (at that time the screen freezes again).
When using the xorg.conf.new file generated by Xorg -configure, the
system prefers to use the intel driver rather than the radeon driver
(neither of which seem to work).
Taking a look at the output of dmesg -a from a verbose boot, I noted the
following messages:

Can someone please tell me what those messages (especially the last 4
messages) mean?
Are they somehow related to the reason why the screen freezes when the
intel driver is loaded during the launch of X?
