I did have a problem with X locking up on FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I fixed it by disabling acpi at boot, there's the startup message and I think adding acpi_load=NO in /boot/loader.conf will make it permanent.

Tried that... it doesn't do anything... the only way I've been able to shut it down is by CTRL-ALT-DEL. I've left it sit for hours before resorting to this.

Re: Xorg/laptop
How did you configure X originally? Have you tried : Xorg -configure and then tried the config it writes? Bomgardner,Jon extolled: Greetings!
