I tried to upgrade Xorg 7.3 > 7.4 and I broke my installation.
So I installed FreeBSD 7.1 as base+kernel+docs from FTP, then pumped ports through cvsup and installed Xorg 7.4 (xorg-server 1.5, vesa driver 2.1). Just startx didn't work as it was in 7.3. X -cofigure failed but I got xorg.conf.new that had 17 monitors, 17 videocards and 17 screens with 5 displays in each
I left only one mode, chose vesa driver, entered monitor's properties, and line "Modes" in Screen section. X fired up but neither mouse nor keyboard was working. I tried "moused..." tricks in rc.conf and it didn't work. Others didn't work too.
Finally I got beautiful X by putting hald_enable="YES" in etc/rc.conf
