Take a look at this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

 The next step is to test the existing configuration to verify that Xorg
 can work with the graphics hardware on the target system. In Xorg
 versions up to 7.3, type:
 # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new

 Starting with Xorg 7.4 and above, this test produces a black screen
 which may make it difficult to diagnose whether X11 is working
 properly. The older behavior is still available by using the retro
 option:
 # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro
