I believe this a regression in support for Core2 intel graphics in the i915.ko drm kernel module, which has made great improvements for more modern chips. I have one machine with the same problem which I moved to using VESA instead with a manually configured xorg.conf.
On this particular machine if I try to kldload i915 the screen goes blank, the monitor complains, and system is unreachable on network, only power-cycling brings it back. I have no idea how to trace the problem down, and the core2duo desktop hardware becomes more and more obsolete each day...
