It is documented here
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html
, under 5.4.5, that you also need to install drm-kmod. Currently, due
to how packages are built, if you are running FreeBSD 12.2, you need to
build it from ports. Once the package build cluster is also updated to
12.2, that need goes away.
