I think we can look at downgrading
intel drivers to something like 2.9 (or even 2.6) which still supported
UMS until KMS work is ready. I don't know how much work it'll take to
make this crap work with new Xorg server, so no promises on time frame
for now. Until then you can use vesa.
I have a computer with Intel graphics and Hipster
20140701 installed. Xorg refuses to use intel_drv.so
and falls back on using vesa_drv.so, I understand
this is not going to improve soon.
The fall back to vesa is totally unusable because the
brigthness is forced to maximum and hurts the eyes and
the slider for brightness on "Power Management" has no
effect.
Is there another way to adjust the brightness level with
the vesa driver ?

Hello, Jean-Pierre,
I found a workaround that could be used, if everyone declares that newer
packages in hipster-2015
will not depend on newer X and Intel driver that is non working yet.
(and that could allow testing if it is needed when things improve.
You update to latest hipster-2014.1 or install from 20141010 ISO if it
is new install,
or in a working BE for your intel hardware,
and you enter: (with pfexec or sudo)
pfexec pkg freeze consolidation/X/X-incorporation
pfexec pkg freeze x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video-intel
And then add new repository (pkg set-publisher-g , -G to remove old) if
needed, and update (pkg update -v).
That way , if new packages you have installed does not depend on newer X
and intel driver that does not work, you get same packages as
hipster-2015 except X and intel driver consolidations.
And hopefully newer packages won't depend on them, until it is once
solved in illumos and you unfreeze them.
