No.

New laptop.

Install 8.2-Release
startx failed - Xorg -configure also failed to produce an operating X
although it did produce xorg.conf.new
upgraded to 8.2-Stable - cvsup build world and kernel IAW src/Makefile
updated ports tree - cvsup
portupgrade -PRrvab

More searching.  Got answer from freebsd-x11@freebsd.org - use the vesa
driver.

It sort of works.

Xorg -configure
edit xorg.conf.new to use the vesa driver and the Radeon chip (BusId)
copy to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
log in to ttyv2 as a normal user
startx works using the default xinitrc

Exiting from the login xterm sometimes causes the machine to freeze.
The screen goes blank.  No response to keyboard, <ctrl-alt-f1> does
nothing I cannot ping it from another machine.  The laptop is hung.  I
left it for 20 minutes no change.  Cycle power.

After cycle power, fsck takes a long time.  Anything that requires a
disk access takes several seconds to start.  `vi .cshrc` takes 7 seconds
before the file is displayed!  I hate cycle power.

After fsck completes, response is normal - no noticeable delay between
time hit <cr> and the file being displayed.
