Just in case you haven't seen it yet...

 Apparently there have been issues on some hardware with the way xorg
(used to) probe the pci bus, see the `Unhappy Xorg upgrade' thread on
-stable, particularly:
	http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?1234292252.1524.38.camel
and
	http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?49A81556.2040801
(which details the fix.)
