>Description:

Running "X - configure" with the cirrus driver yields an
xorg.conf file that causes the X server to crash on startup,
leaving a black screen, I have to reboot to get the screen back.

If I replace the cirrus driver statement in the xorg.conf
file with vesa, to use the vesa driver, then X comes up.
However, using the vesa driver the screen is garbled on
return to textmode after exiting X.  Issuing the command
vidcontrol 80x25 does not reset the screen.

The same problem happened with this video card in a
completely different machine, different processor and
motherboard, running the same version of FreeBSD and xorg.

Replacing this video card with a trident AGP video card and
reconfiguring X to use the trident works fine.  I
also checked this driver with a PCI Cirrus card using
a CL-GD5446BV-HC-B card and that works fine as well.

I tried changing BIOS settings related to the card
(video bios cacheable yes/no, etc.) with no change.

The output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the server stops
right here:
