I've updated one of the Acer C720 to the most recent graphic work kernel
for FreeBSD from https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics
which does allow to use the video-intel driver for Xorg. stellarium
still crashed with the same symptoms while getting the GUI up, until I
realized that the user must be in the group 'video' to have access to
the files below /dev/dri:
crw-rw---- 1 root video 0x6c 9 Apr. 12:57 card0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 0x6b 9 Apr. 12:57 controlD64
Adding the user to the group 'video' makes it finally work fine (also
flightgear works too).
On the other C720 system I still have to use the vesa driver for Xorg and
there are no files or dir /dev/dri. This would explain why stellarium
crashes there, but would not explain how it worked this way in the past.
