Xorg locks up

Hi, list.

My Xorg keeps locking up for unknown reason. I couldn't find out any
rule but everytime symptoms are the following:

- CPU load is about 100%
- there's no any reaction to keyboard, but mouse is still alive.
- ktrace shows that Xorg keeps invoking the same call in a cycle:

The problem appeared right after I installed FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE amd64
(it was x86 before without any problem).


software:

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE amd64
xorg-7.3_1
xfce-4.4.2


hardware:

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
ASUS M2N (with onboard video)


I'm not sure about chipset, Xorg.0.log sais:

(--) Chipset Unknown NVIDIA chip found


I've already tried to upgrade X.Org and window manager with no luck.


Is anything else needed?
Any idea what might be a reason? What should I do?

TIA
