No problems here on 6.8.2 and 5.4-RELEASE-p7. Perhaps you could try and
find some commonality with the others that are reporting the same
problem (vid card, MB, etc). Try using the VESA video driver. Try
renaming xorg.conf and starting x (it'll try some defaults like vesa
mode and ddc monitor). Also, back in the FBSD 5.2.1 days, I had a buggy
ACPI that would do something similar. Try booting with ACPI disabled to
test it.
Later,
