Yes. You are using the KMS video drivers, and currently there is no KMS console driver in FreeBSD 10. There is one, called Newcons, in -CURRENT, and an MFC is planned at some point: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons > I can still SSH into the laptop, so the system has not crashed, it just seems > like its a problem with X and/or the system console. The console is running, it just can't be seen. Type startx and you will be back in X and can shut down or do further work in a terminal window.
