xorg corruption

[Shaun Mickey]

First off i have FreeBSD 5.3 stable on a dell latitude c600 (p3 750 512mb ram) 
i have xorg installed and have had both Gnome and KDE installed (not at the 
same time though).

Every time i go to start kde or gnome after a shutdown, (using halt, shutdown, 
or reboot) the screen that's supposed to be black and white checkered with 
the X cursor is a corrupted version of a screenshot, or horizontal pink and 
gray bars. I believe the processor is spiked as well because i can move the 
mouse but there is a 1-2 second delay before it moves and it jumps, it 
doesn't refresh smoothly.

About 5 minutes after i started xorg i am logged into gnome and can slowly 
logout.  After about another 3-5 minutes i'm logged out.  Now i can go startx 
again and it starts perfectly and i'm logged in in < 2 minutes.

I've installed freebsd several times, always with the same options (first two 
times i installed gnome, last time i installed kde)  It never fails to happen 
after a reboot.

Here are the vitals, let me know if anything else is needed.
Thanks in Advance,
Shaun
