I would just like to point out a couple other factors as far as reproducing this, and that it may not be BSD dependent.
We (this is a company machine) bought this PC in a batch from Micron a few years ago. There were 20-something in the batch, and only 2 diff models. 1/2 were the Riva128's and 1/2 were the i810 onboard. Of these 20, 7+ have been converted to FreeBSD (mostly 4.7 by now, although a couple may be older) and mostly running XFree86 4.2.0. Most of the BSD boxes should be an identical hardware configuration, and most are identical or comparable software. I started out having this problem when I loaded 4.2.0 from /stand/sysinstall. So, as far as easily reproduced "one of these things is not like the other" scenarios go, this one is tricky. In 4+ identical environments, I can't reproduce this, except on this one machine.
