The FreeBSD version that you use, and presumably the X server are very
much out of date. You should install the current FreeBSD version 6.0,
and with it the current Xorg port (version 6.8.2, IIRC).

I would recommend doing a fresh install from CD instead of a cvsup
upgrade, but that's your choice.

Chances are that this will solve your problem. If the problem persists,
let us know.
