I do have xf85-input-keyboard and -mouse installed.

joji at peace> pkg_info | grep -E "(keyboard|mouse)"
xf86-input-keyboard-1.4.0 X.Org keyboard input driver
xf86-input-mouse-1.5.0 X.Org mouse input driver
xkbcomp-1.1.0       Compile XKB keyboard description
xkeyboard-config-1.8_1 X Keyboard Configuration Database

So that wasn't the problem. 

Any other ideas?

When I use the intel driver, I see the screen and the mouse pointer for
a split second before it crashes.
