Your card is a gemini lake gen igfx, which we unfortunately don't yet
support; our latest gen is broadwell, with work underway for skylake.
For now, vesa or the uefi framebuffer you're handed are the best you
could get.  An external monitor may work with vesa as well (see vga(8)
for example usage), but it's somewhat unlikely.

Hope that helps,
