It looked like xf86-video-intel was newer in regular ports tree than in
freebsd-ports-graphics, browsing Github in the case of
freebsd-ports-graphics.

I also saw no xf86-video-modesetting driver in either regular ports tree or
freebsd-ports-graphics.

But I saw xf86-video-modesetting in NetBSD pkgsrc in category x11.

Sorry, should have been more clear, the modesetting driver is part of the
xorg-server port/pkg in freebsd.

Best regards
Andreas
