Where is your dmesg, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and X config file?
A listing of /var/db/pkg would be helpful to show what X ports you have 
installed.

Well *I* didn't have any problem running X on 6.3 release. Maybe you 
should have contributed by downloading an RC and testing it?

G550's are very old cards, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect 
that someone doing RC testing would have one installed.
