First, the intermittent nature of the problem sounds like it might be
hardware failure. The only easy way to test that would be to swap in
another video board, but people rarely have extras.
You also mentioned upgrading from 7.x to 8.1. It's worth running
pkg_libchk from sysutils/bsdadminscripts to make sure nothing was
missed.
Back to the xorg.conf...
Adding Option "Log" "Sync" to ServerLayout may help preserve the
Xorg.0.log file. Untested by me so far, but shouldn't hurt.
I'll repost the xorg.conf here
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Tastatur" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mus" "CorePointer"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
EndSection
AllowEmptyInput (and fire) bad! Use AutoAddDevices Off instead.
(http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html)
Section "Files"
EndSection
Looks wrong, but works here. I'd suggest leaving out the section
entirely rather than leaving it empty, though.
Section "Module"
# Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "type1"
Load "speedo"
EndSection
All but the commented first two and last three are default. Worth
commenting out the last three and testing, too.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Skjerm"
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Grafikkort"
Driver "radeonhd"
Option "HPD" "off"
EndSection
My success rate with the radeonhd driver is pretty much nonexistent.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Grafikkort"
Monitor "Skjerm"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
16-bit? That may actually be slower than 24, depending on how the card
is built. Should still work, though it's worth commenting out in both
places for testing.
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Should not cause a problem, although I use 0660.
My full xorg.conf for the X1650 is here:
