My guess is that it's an older intel driver that happens to be getting
installed.  The most recent version of the intel driver, 2.8, is
Linux-only, so I'm not sure how much luck you will have with any BSD.

You can try rebuilding x.org and its dependencies - this will take a
while, and I'm not 100% sure that will help.  pkg_rolling-release can
do that for you, with a force option.
