The FreeBSD version that you use, and presumably the X server are very much out of date.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.
