I just bought one of these and had to contend with this problem.

The current release of XF86 doesn't work with the new Graphics Pro Turbos. 
You need to get an updated X server.  The following will work, but has
some bugs (ie, it won't start from /etc/ttys anymore; just start xdm in
rc.local). 

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.1.2B/FreeBSD-2.0.5/X312BMa64.tgz

I have a friend who has a GPT from December and the stock X server works 
fine on it, so I think it's a recent hardware change on the GPT.  

Hope this helps.
