Later Intel cards aren't yet working that well with FreeBSD. So I'm
actually surprised that yours did. 

I have a Lenovo yoga2 with a Haswell ULT.  I have a page about the yoga,
http://srobb.net/yoga2.html which goes through the details.  Short
overview, install CURRENT, then pull the drm-next-4.7, rebuild kernel, (I
prefer NO-DEBUG), and the Intel driver will work. I'm guessing this is an
Intel card, if not, then all I've posted here is meaningless.

If you do feel it might be useful, just search for finally got video on the
page. :)

I'm not sure how useful this is to you though, as you did have it working
on 11.0-p8  which I wasn't able to do with the yoga2.
