Help, X was working just fine until I did a portupgrade

Looks like X is starting but my LCD monitor just goes
black with the monitor's OSD reporting "video input, out
of range".

I've gone back through Xorg configuration
(via "xorgcfg -textmode") and verified correct settings
for my graphics card and the monitor's Horz. / Vert. scan
frequencies etc., everything being in order.

#Xorg -configure gives Driver "ati", Boardname "RV350 AP
[Radeon 9600]" and BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

I've also run #xorgcfg -textmode choosing Driver "radeon"
and Card "** ATI Radeon (generic).." and still no luck.

Please help. Anyone have their Radeon 9600 card working
in Xorg-7.2 with just a basic / non accelerated setup, or
any setup?

Thanks,
Byron


System info:

FreeBSD 6.2 stable (AMD64)
Graphics card: ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (using the VGA
monitor connection jack)
Mainboard: MSI KT8 Neo2-F

I've seen this with VGA connections - e.g I've a 9550
(RV350 AS) and for DVI connection it works fine with the
file generated by 'Xorg -configure' with accel and drm, but
with VGA fails with 'out of range'. I needed to tell it
which display resolution to use by adding a 'Modes' clause
to the "Display" subsection of xorg.conf e.g:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" # whatever mode your monitor uses here
EndSubSection
EndSection


Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion Mark. I do have the modes entered,
and even set it to the single mode of "1280x1024" but no
luck.

I went back and ran Xorg -configure again, and noted the
following error messages:

dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//atimisc_drv.so:
Undefined symbol "ATIMemoryTypeNames_88800CX"
(EE) Failed to
load /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//atimisc_drv.so

(EE) Failed to load module "atimisc" (loader failed, 7)
(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID
PCI:1:0:1) found
(**) RADEON(0) : RADEONPreInit

atimisc_drv.so is present in the above mentioned directory.

My graphics card is the PowerColor ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (RV350
AP)
