I have exactly the same problem with an ATI card (radeonhd driver) 
except that the STATE of Xorg is *GIANT and recently I've seen CPU usage 
figure exceed 400% - yes *four* hundred!!

In my search for a solution I've found someone with the same problem 
with a Matrox card.

I've come to the conclusion that Xorg 7.3 is a crock - at least on 
FreeBSD - since I've never had some many problems under any previous 
version of Xorg, or XFree86. Is it possible to install Xorg 7.2 on 
FreeBSD 7.0?

Hmm, I see this too (although I think it is freetype on my box, not 
misc) - any idea what it means?
