Look into /var/logs/Xorg.0.log

FYI, I had the same problem. Try to update your ports tree and rebuild
the driver to see if it fix the problem. (some files were commited
after the big xorg commit because they were forgotten). If you built
your video driver without the patches, it may be the origin of your
problem.
