xorg works fine if I launch it with tightvnc. However, the system
hangs if I try to startx using the nvidia driver. The same happens
if I try to kldload emu10kx.

How do I force the system to issue a kernel dump when it
hangs? I want to be able to provide a proper backtrace of the system
if possible. :)

Are these known issues?


I have the same issue. It has been happening for me for a while, so I switched to the nv driver (which is terribly slow for me).

I was able to get a dump, by having all the debugger bits in the kernel config, and when it locked up, I simply typed "call doadump" [enter], then "reset" [enter]. I got my dump, even though I couldn't see the typing. I have yet to do anything with the dump :(
