Hi Jean-Pierre,

Could you please also state what is your hardware, brand, model, 
configuration and grahics card/integrated graphics model (included in 
motherboard, chipset or inside cpu).

How it behaves in hipster-2014.1 and maybe booting from live 20141010 
DVD/USB?

Idea of freezing X and intel driver is if you freeze it in a working 
state, before one updates rest of the system to hipster-2015 for testing 
for new bugs. (Works for me for older intel graphics, e.g. 945)

If also in hipster-2014.1 you do not have your graphics working 
correctly (explain how it works, does it display with low 
resolution/VESA or something) you can then try installing/booting from 
live DVDs of older Openindiana /dev and Hipster release DVDs.

If with no previous release it worked for you, see that you report a bug 
on it, too.
