That's *really* interesting, because I have a 
 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 v3 @ 3.40GHz (3400.07-MHz K8-class CPU)

and my X refuses to use anything other than VESA.  I doubt it
would change anything, but can you post your make.conf, kernel
config, and anything else you've set up to make your graphics
work?  Thanks!
