John, Thanks for that info. I do have Ubuntu installed on the same box and my next task was to attempt to see if I could reproduce the problem I was seeing with FreeBSD on Ubuntu. I also suspected the vesa driver and since both FreeBSD and Ubuntu use the same Xorg and vesa drivers, the problem being apparent in both OSes would make sense. Thanks for saving me some time.
