Currently, the default for 10 is the old (pre-KMS) X.org and the default for 11 (HEAD) is the newer (post-KMS) one. If you're using the default one, would you mind trying the new one? You can build it from ports by putting this in your make.conf: > > WITH_NEW_XORG=yes > WITH_GALLIUM=yes > > I'm currently running it with AMD graphics on 10-RC4 and finding it works a lot better than the older version, and we're considering enabling it for the 10.0-RELEASE. The down side is that, without newcons, you lose working VTs after X has started. The wiki now has the update procedure: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Installing_KMS_Ports This will work either to update an already-installed X, or to install it from scratch (just install x11/xorg afterwards). It has been tested on 9.2 and 10-STABLE.
