FBdev is something that exists only on Linux, and is both unnecessary and cannot be used on FreeBSD.

You do need to install the X11 keyboard and mouse drivers to interface with the FreeBSD console drivers, and you should check that the sysctl hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap is 1. Your xorg.conf looks basically identical to mine. Did you change anything since the last X server log you sent out?
-Nathan

I tried using ati as the driver then switched it back to r128. I reinstalled r128. Pkg_info |grep xf86 lists the keyboard and mouse drivers as already installed. 
When I type dmesg|grep pci it lists the address for the card as a vgapci.
Which log message or system file do you need me to send?
