At man pages of xorg.conf, there is no line and description of:
Code: 
Option "BackingStore" "True"
When I've added it into xorg.conf and started X, X.log showed option as recognized and loaded.

How come?
 
It's possible that it's an option for a specific Xorg driver, not not an option for Xorg in general. Just a thought.

This is not specifically a driver option. It is used to enable the server's support for backing store, a mechanism by which pixel data for occluded window regions is remembered by the server thereby alleviating the need to send expose events to X clients when the data needs to be redisplayed.

It's missing from the upstream sources, so you'd be better off submitting a bug directly with the Xorg devs than with the FreeBSD porters.

Bug reports are usually submitted by the person who discovered the bug, for several reasons:

1. They may be the only one who has encountered the bug.
2. They are the one being affected by the problem.
3. "Somebody should report this." Aren't you somebody?
4. The "he who smelt it dealt it" principle.
