Perhaps you could try and find some commonality with the others that are reporting the same problem (vid card, MB, etc). Try using the VESA video driver. Try renaming xorg.conf and starting x (it'll try some defaults like vesa mode and ddc monitor). Also, back in the FBSD 5.2.1 days, I had a buggy ACPI that would do something similar. Try booting with ACPI disabled to test it. Later, Micah
