 I've rebuilt world+kernel on FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE i386 after applying patch=
  #1 and #2.
 I had a *great* improvement in term of stability: no problem at boot, no =
 more kernel panic or locks using vidcontrol, fast switch between all mode=
 s.
 Anyway none of the modes of type "G" is working, now not even 640x800 or =
 320x200.
 I'm still seeing the monitor going black with "no signal".
 
 Thanks
 Barbara
