Hi there!
I am running a box with FreeBSD 9.0-Release amd64 and a GeForce GTS450.
This setup is was running for several months without any issues.
Since the last Xorg-update I have freezes of XOrg every day (minimum
one, sometimes more). I first did an update without setting
"WITH_NEW_XORG". I got failures. Later I set "WITH_NEW_XORG" and did a
build of xorg and all depended ports. Again freezes. I switched back
and disabled "WITH_NEW_XORG" and again I build xorg and all
dependencies.
I was using the current nvidia-driver from the ports-tree. I switched
to the current betra-driver. Again freezes.
We tried shrinking the "physmem"-sysctl.
Freezes look like this: The screen does not update any windows. The
mouse can be moved but it can't interact with the GUI. If the screen
was black (screensaving) it stays black. If the screen showed a desktop
this will be shown (no screensaver oder backlight-offs). Pressing
CTRL+ALT+Fx does nothing.
The only thing I can do is to log in with my smartphone using ssh and
kill Xorg. This needs a lot of time but then it stops.
The last messages in the XOrg-log are:

[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
Last thing I tried was deleting all ports (unsing pkg_delete -a), then
deleting /usr/local and again building all ports. Nothing changed.
Can you help me? What else could I do to regain a running system?!
Thank you a lot! It is really annoying!

I have the following line in my xorg.conf for a long time. It's a
panacea
for all xorg problems I've seen (also on linux boxes). Especially for
the
symptoms you described.
# To prevent system freeze with Xorg in drmwtq state. HdH jan 3, 2011
Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>]
Good luck with it.
