Hi there, I installed FreeBSD, and PC-BSD as well, and when I try starting X the screen just goes black and the CPU usage increases a lot, I can't use any keys, I tried ctrl+alt+f1 but the screen remained black, I had to power down the computer to get it to reboot. I tried this on FreeBSD 7.x and 8.x and the results were the same. However on Linux there were no problems. (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSuse, Mandriva, CentOS) I tried getting some help on Freenode, and someone told me the problem could be FreeBSD's DRM implementation and directed me to this mailling list for a possible solution. I realize this isn't the most extensive bug report, but I wasn't able to get a Xorg.log, still if you can help it's appreciated. Regards, Pedro Azevedo
