Any ideas? Which version of XFree86 do you have? Did you upgrade yourself to 4.0.1 at the same time you upgraded FreeBSD? In XFree86 4.x they re-wrote all the drivers for the VGA cards and not every driver had a working DGA mode. Things are much better in 4.0.2 which is due to be released in mid December. Also, you needed to explicitly enable DGA mode in the xf86config So, did you upgrade XFree86? If not, please can you give me a little more information like the VGA card you have and the version of XFree86 you have.
