Yes, although around these parts we tend to use pciconf -lv. You have an AMD Radeon HD6300. > And what is vt(4)? vt(4) is the KMS-aware system console. To use it, enter kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf. It will take effect on boot. The problem of leaving X and having the screen stop responding is due to the old system console not understanding kernel video mode switching. vt(4) is the new console. See 'man 4 vt' for more information.
