 After recent updates of "native" Xorg in -current, including the intel
 driver, I updated my affected i386 system with the 201608260900Z TNF
 snapshot build.
 
 If I understand correctly, the TNF snapshots build the newer drivers, but
 the older version of the server (1.10).  I'm not sure if this is expected
 to work.
 
 On my system, starting X with:
 
   $ X -retro &
 
 switches virtual terminals and the monitor's OSD reports frequency
 changes consistent with expected behavior, but the display remains blank
 (black).  Switching back to one of the text terminals does not restore
 the display although one can type blindly to reboot the machine.
 
 A separate installation using pkgsrc/modular Xorg (pkgsrc-2016Q2),
 built with GCC 5.4 works properly.
