 Hi,
 
 Problem resolved by updating the kernel to latest source.
 
 cvsup the src to RELENG_6
 make buildkernel & make installkernel (default GENERIC kernel options)
 restart the machine
 all goes OK.
 
 By the way, I don't think this is a graphic hardware problem, according to the
 follwoing link:

 Greetings
