I answer for myself :
* It's an acpi related problem, but I still don't know how to debug this
* A turnaround is a script with xrand. Boot FreeBSD with a vga
connection. Start X (I personnaly use startxfce4 WITHOUT any
xorg.conf). In an xterm type xrandr :
You get
> xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

   720x400        70.1

You can activate/desactivate the vga port with :
> xrandr --output VGA --off
> xrandr --output VGA --auto

Follow all the steps except for xorg.conf

Then pick some ideas from
http://www.di2.nu/software/eeetweaks.htm
(xorg.conf and vga-toggle)

You are done with a pretty cool screen :
screen #0:
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (375x300 millimeters)
  resolution:    87x87 dots per inch
  depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
  root window id:    0x7d
  depth of root window:    24 planes

The only annoying point is the network interface which doesn't work.
(the wireless is ok) Any idea ?
