Would you give me some more details?

1. Exact sequence of events when this happened.
2. Settings in loader.conf.
3. Output from `vidcontrol -i adapter' and `vidcontrol -i mode'.
4. /var/run/dmesg.boot when the system was started by `boot -v'.
5. FreeBSD and XFree86 versions.
6. Output from `X -probeonly'.

Thank you.
