blank/no module given for xf86-intel-driver (gma900)

Hi, I am unsure if X is using my video card: I know that you need to add the vid card module name in rc.conf, but if I do hw -x, I have to use the vesa driver for my WM to load. When i do hwd -s, it says that the driver is installed, but there is no module, or the module is "-". If I run X using hwd -xa, it'll tell me that there are no drivers detected. Is this how it should be? or did I miss a step that causes it to yield no module?

Thanks for your time.

install xf86-video-intel and set the Driver in xorg.conf to intel. Ignore hwd.
