While this may or may not be the issue, you should not EVER kldload
i915kms.ko! This WILL result in a hung system. You should start X
normally (startx or via ?dm) and Xorg will load all of the required
modules. I believe that this is in the wiki.

Oh, and on't EVER kldunload it, either.It is definitely documented
that this will panic the system.

Several people have posted this problem on two or three different
lists.(I am was almost one of them.)
