Hello, david

1-Is it a laptop, server or desktop? intel or amd?

2-Are you building xorg as a port or installed a pre-compiled pkg?

3-Are you loading drm modules in /boot/loader.conf or do you let 
xorg auto load the kernel modules for your card?

4-What graphics card is it? ATI or NVIDIA?

5-Are you configuring xorg with xorg.conf(deprecated) or starting
xorg with 'startx'(xinit) or are you using a display manager(xdm)?

6-Have you read 24.6.1 #13 in the Handbook?
