FreeBSD-12.1 on laptop

[vm finance]

Hi,

Its Intel's "UHD Graphics 620". I don't see it installed/loaded under
"kldstat".

Do you think steps mentioned in
http://www.srobb.net/freebsdintel.html

would suffice to get around the issue I have?
If not, could u please suggest next steps.

Pls let me know. Thanks so much!
