Just finishing the ordeal in a Fujitsu Lifebook P2110 using xf86-video-mach64
Sharing what it made it work (after several searches and trials):

I- Updating Xorg from 7.3 to 7.4: 

1) cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server
   make config
   disabled HAL support

2) portupgrade -rf libxcb

3) portupgrade -aP
   (I knew that binary packages for Xorg were not available yet, still it speed up everything else)



II- xorg.conf:

1) added the line

   Option  "AllowEmptyInput"       "Off"

   ...in the Section "Server Layout"  

2) removed 

   "RGBPath"

   ...from the Section "Files"

3) Modified Section "Modules" as:

   Section "Module"
           Load  "extmod"
           Load  "dbe"
           Load  "glx"
           Load  "dri"
           Load  "freetype"
   EndSection

III- Left /etc/rc.conf as it was. Still contains the line: 

     moused_enable="YES"

- -- 
Bye now...

Whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to seem mild harmless, rather engaging little things, not at all like the staring defects in other people's characters.
