I can't reproduce inside 12.3-RELEASE amd64 jail under 14.0-CURRENT amd64 host
with Skylake GT2 (aka HD530).

How recently? Can you bisect? Possible candidates are ports 0fe260b63e82, libva
updates, libdrm updates and xorg-server updates. However, drm-fbsd12.0-kmod is
ancient, so maybe the issue is somewhere else.

Diagnostic from libdrm: DRM_IOCTL_I915_GETPARAM for I915_PARAM_CHIPSET_ID
failed with EPERM.
libva-x11 uses DRI2 for authentication as DRI3 (similar to Wayland) requires
libva >= 2.17 (unreleased).

Over to x11@. I'm not familar with Xorg and can't test drm-fbsd12.0-kmod (not
supported on -CURRENT).
