Radeon HD 2400 configuration.

I don't think I have had to use an xorg.conf file for some time. When I
had an xorg problem the inclusion of those two lines fixed it. That
was, however on a 32-bit machine and running blackbox. I would say
however, that the way you describe the freezing makes me wonder if it is
a problem generated by gnome. You might try something leaner like
blackbox or fluxbox to see if they will run. What happens if you delete
your .xinitrc file and then type startx.
I don't really have any other suggestions. My experience with the 8.0
Release on my two 64-bit machines has been a disaster.
I had numerous non-Xorg problems with 8.0Release. Right off the bat, it
was only detecting one of my CPUs. There is also the kernel security
issue mentioned on the FreeBSD homepage, which does not appear to have
been corrected in the release that I downloaded. Quite disappointing,
because I had been using 8.0 in a beta form with reasonable success for
about six months. Once I upgraded, virtually nothing I needed worked.
After a day of fighting with it, I did a clean install, but with the
same results. After 5 years of using FreeBSD exclusively, I am
rethinking it for computers where I need day-to-day reliability and speed.
Sorry I can't be any more help. Best of luck.
