ASUS FM1-A75 motherboard + ADM A3400 APU
>Description:
When running "X -configure", it crashed with following error:

X.Org X Server 1.7.7
Release Date: 2010-05-04
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 10.0-BETA1 amd64

........

(II) GPU only supported with KMS, using vesa instead.
Segmentation fault at address 0x0

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting

----------------

After switch device from Radeon to Vesa as suggested (this works for 8.3 and 8.4 releases on the same system), X will start with a blank screen.
Altr-Ctrl-F1 can bring system back to the text console, and it means that system is still alive.

Since Xorg works on FreeBSD 8.3-R and 8.4-Release, so this is a xorg problem in 10-R.
>How-To-Repeat:
Not sure if this is for all systems with FM1 socketed APU.
Install FreeBSD 10-RC2 on ASUS FM1-A75 motherboard with A3400 APU.
Run "X -configure", modify device Driver from radeon to vesa in Section "Device", and then start X with this xorg.conf.new. You will see a blank screen.
