How to make thinkpad x201i video card driver works ?

[李周华]

Thanks for you kindly help , video card driver now  works well. I do the follow steps:

1. install driver via "pkg install xf86-video-intel" 
2. rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
3. add lines
        i915kms_load="YES"
        kern.vty=vt
    to/boot/loader.conf

Hopes can help other people.
