The issue is that packages for FreeBSD are built on the lowest common supported version. This means that packages for FreeBSD 12 (both 12.0 and 12.1, as well as 12-STABLE) are built on FreeBSD 12.0. There has been a change somewhere in the time between 12.0 and 12.1 that makes certain kernel modules, i915kms.ko is one of them (both drm-fbsd12.0-kmod and drm-legacy-kmod) fail when loaded on a FreeBSD 12.1 kernel. The best work around for this is to simply build the kernel module from ports on FreeBSD 12.1. This is safe to do even on systems that otherwise use binary packages. This is a known issue, with no really good solution currently. It has been discussed within the graphics team quite a lot, however, I was unaware that this PR existed. https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/issues/183 is the issue we have open on github.
