It took me an hour so to figure out what had broken X on my system, so here it is in case it can be useful to others (the list is archived, no...) Run "pkg upgrade" and upgraded a couple of dozen packages - after a later reboot X would hang. Tried to revert some of the xfce packages (some cryptic xfce messages on the console let me to think that was the cause) but that didn't do it. nvidia-driver had also been upgraded. Changing the entry on /boot/loader.conf from nvidia_load="YES" to nvidia-modeset_load="YES" Fixed the problem. This was of course, noted on the package notes, and you're supposed to read them when upgrading :) A.
