Stan,
if that is your only problem, that is a KNOWN issue, and it exists in
PC-BSD as well.. it has to do with KMS/GEM there are many posts talking
about it on various FreeBSD mailing lists..
there is no fix for this currently, and it explains why FreeBSD 8.4 works
for you... becasue I don't think KMS was backported to FreeBSD 8.x
my question for you now is, do you NEED KMS/GEM support? what type of video
device do you have?

Xorg has a new option for make.conf WITH_NEW_XORG=
