Hi,

I saw that someone already posted something similar. I have the same
problem.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2009-December/009124.html

My system is: Intel Q6600 on a ASUS Maximus X38 board with a Radeon HD 3870=
.

I have FreeBSD - 8.0 - STABLE - AMD64 installed.

It doesn't matter which driver I use (radeon or radeonhd), my machine
freezes or reboots when switching to graphical mode. Note that my xorg.conf
file is ok as per "Xorg -config xorg.conf -retro": I get the grey screen an=
d
my mouse cursor is working correctly. Things get bad when I "xinit" or
"startx". If I disable "dri" and "dri2" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf things work
flawlessly.

I read the list and someone else mentionned a new version of Xorg (7.6.1 I
think) is due soon. Will it fix issues like the one we are having? When wil=
l
it be released?

Like the other poster, I can work with VESA in the meantime, but I would
prefer this issue fixed!

Cheers!
