On some generations of the Intel GPU, disabling of the VGA Display
stops updating the vertical retrace indicator. The text mouse renderer in syscons is executing from the callout and spins waiting for the start of next frame. As result, after the X server finishes, since the VGA cannot be turned on, but syscons does not know about this, the clock swi spins forever. Hack around the problem by disabling wait for the retrace if KMS is activated. Diagnosed and tested by: Michiel Boland <boland37@xs4all.nl> Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation MFC after: 2 weeks
