Same here, but when mplayer plays some (rare) video files.

Xorg then stays at 100% CPU, and it is impossible to kill it,
neither from the inside, nor from the outside (logged in via ssh)
with SIGKILL. Only a reboot helps here.

Running:
  FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0 r222832 amd64
with
  xorg-server-1.7.7_1,1
  xorg-drivers-7.5.1
and the radeonhd driver:

It happens only rarely, I can't reproduce that bug reliably.
