How did you add Xorg? It looks like you are completely missing drivers. Did you reboot the computers after the XOrg was added.

I did not add Xorg. From installation, I selected either 5 (X-Developer) or 7 (X-Kern-Developer).
This is what older FreeBSD installation used to add X Window system.

That should be enough. Did you create initial xorg.conf.new file with Xorg -configure?

Nop, "X -configure" does not work due to missing many X related packages.

Is this an issue for 6.3 installation?
I will try to add Xorg manually to see if this can fix the problem.

I have no clue. I tried to play recently with 7.0 which is not as stable as 6.3. I wanted to use Miro. Xorg was properly installed and configured but it was crushing right after the start. The same machine is running OpenBSD 4.2 without any issues.I actually tried to start X even with VESA driver (normaly I would use i810) and very conservative options but aval:-(. It is 10 year old PIII. So nothing fancy.

Manually adding Xorg package resolves the problem -- it installs everything.
So, the problem is likely a 6.3 installation bug, but I wonder no one else complained it :-(

Thanks for help,
