Hi guys.
On every release of freebsd that i tried (-CURRENT, -STABLE, -RELEASE)
everything goes fine until I install xorg, gdm and gnome by packages
or not it does not make any difference. When I boot with
gnome_enable="YES" , and gdm start, when I try to change tty, on every
tty, its a black screen and my monitor tell me, power saving mode
enable until I switch back to gdm. I installed the xf86-video-ati
driver and I have an ati radeon HD 5770.

The correct driver for recent ATI cards is xf86-video-radeonhd. And
try the WITHOUT_NOUVEAU knob as David suggests.

Actually, the radeon driver from xf86-video-ati is more solid and likely to work reliably, even with newer cards. Features for 5000-series cards are sparse, though. It appears that work on radeonhd has dropped off.

ports or x11 are better lists for this - current is for things in the
base system.

Yes.
