 Same on my box. Its an old P3 with an old erazor graphics card. FreeBSd 4.8 + 
 latest XFree4 (till december) worked flawless. After deleting it completely, 
 I installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 with XFree86-4 from the ports cvs (beginning of 
 february). xf86cfg freezes the machine on exit. With the configuration file 
 from an old 4.8 backup, the command XFree86 freezes immediately. Freezes 
 means no reaction anymore. Even pings were not responded.
 
 What helped was to remove the lines
 
 	Load  "glx"
 	Load  "dri"
 	Load  "record"
 
 Note, that each of them will cause the problem. Without this three even kde is 
 running.
