i would recommend using the "drm-devel-kmod" port/pkg.  that version 
currently is using the bits from the v5.4.62 linux kernel, which i 
believe has support for Comet Lake.  Manu actually just updated this 
port on Sep 5th which has some useful fixes in it.

is this from using the "drm-devel" or "drm-current" kmod?  as mentioned 
above i'd give the "drm-devel" driver a spin and if still having issues 
post the dmesg loglines containing "drm".

hope this helps,
