Tried also with PCBSD, the same results. I gave up and installed linux in the same machine, both worked fine in addition to: 1. booting time is very fast 2. thermal management is better (usually the cpu temps are 31-40 in linux default installation whereas the temp remains in the range of up to 49-63 with all the tweaks performed.) 3. Power consumption is lower in linux than freebsd (76watts compared to 126watts till the xorg started) These are some of the stuffs that needs to be addressed despite freebsd being overwhelmingly stable.
