If you rebuilt the kernel, the 'disabled' keyword on the 'device psm0' is
still there.  If you boot with the '-c' option to the Boot: prompt you can
re-enable the device.

You probably installed the Linux versions of X and not the FreeBSD
versions.  While the X versions may work, the FreeBSD ones are going to 
do a lot better. The FreeBSD versions are on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org in
/pub/FreeBSD/x.x.x-RELEASE/XF86xx, depending on what version of FreeBSD
you have.
