http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

eg

# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new

Starting with Xorg 7.4 and above, this test produces a black screen 
which may make it difficult to diagnose whether X11 is working properly. 
The older behavior is still available by using the retro option:

# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro
