I don't know the answer to this but i'm going to take a shot at it.

I'm using xfce also and in my rc.conf i have kld_list="drm i915kms" i've
never used the whole path. 

Do you have drm-kmod installed ? 

You might need it.

If that dosen't work I  would wait for somebody else to respond. I've setup
freebsd on 4 laptops at home with my rc.conf like that and they all
work. my main machine that I updated from 13.2-RELEASE to 14.0-RELEASE
works also with that config I told you

Hope this helps
