The problem is clearly in the X11 code, then, since it is not
resetting the card to the video mode it was in before X started.

You would do well to look at the XFree86 mailing list archives,
since your answer is likely to be there (this is not a FreeBSD
specific problem, if it is not happening because of FreeBSD
specific code).

The only possible way this could be a FreeBSD specific problem
is if you were using, e.g., the AGP driver, and it wasn't working.

You said it worked bofore; probably the place to start is "what
changed betewwn 'before' and 'now'?".
