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.
