Xorg impossible problems

Mi fellow freebsd enthousiasts,
I have this interesting Xorg problems which I can't seem to eliminate and I therefore hope some of you can guide me in the right direction.
On my amd64 system running freebsd 6.2 with a nvidia card using the vesa driver, I'm experiencing Xorg crashes and weirdness ever since the big Xorg upgrade (which I finished successfully I thought)
At the moment I'm seeing the following behavior:
from time to time, Xorg crashes and won't restart (especially when I'm using firefox) and I have found firefox.core, gnash.core and metacity.core files in my home directory afterwards
when Xorg crashes, in the past it would restart X by itself but not anymore. Now I'm seeing messages like "Failed to start X server several times in a short time period; disabling display : 0"
If I remove gdm_enalbe=Yes from my /etc/rc.conf file and reboot I get into the console. Since after the upgrade I can't startx then to start my desktop because I get errors like no devices found, no screens found
in my console, since after the upgrade, I can't do Xorg -configure as root to let it create a Xorg skeleton file which I can use to tailor to my needs. This was also possible in the past
So, I hope somebody can help me out? Would it be an option for me to remove all Xorg packages and all of gnome (would like to start with Xfce4 in stead) and then refresh my ports and install the new Xorg 7.3? Would that help me?
Some things about my system:
pkg_info | grep xorg

The end of my Xorg.0.log file after a Xorg -configure as root:
No devices to configure. Configuration failed.
No devices to configure. Configuration failed.
The error I get at the end of Xorg.0.log file after the crashes or when I do a startx at the console
