Could you please start X once with the Intel driver (even if it doesn't
work) and then post:
    o  the output of dmesg
    o  your Xorg.log
    o  the list of installed packages

If the screen remains black when trying to use the Intel driver, this is
expected: our default console doesn't support the new kernel-side video
drivers.

A new console, called Newcons, was committed to HEAD recently. It may be
part of 10.0-RELEASE, but you'll have to rebuild a kernel to enable it.
