With this setup I'm not getting the ATI driver to work. I want 1680x1050, but I'm stuck with the VESA driver and VESA video modes and need a little help trying to configure it. AFAIK, I've got everything upgraded (recent build of the world, recent portupgrade -af) and I'm using Xorg -configure for my xorg.conf. I did the "mystical journal" to Xorg 7.2 on a previous rebuild and followed /usr/ports/UPDATING and there doesn't seem to be anything relevant in there which is more recent.

The symptoms are that when I try to startx the monitor goes into power saving mode and the keyboard becomes non-responsive (ctrl-alt-bs, ctrl-alt-f-keys, alt-f-keys, ctrl-alt-del no longer respond). The power button on the front of the machines does to a successful ACPI power down so the machine isn't completely locked up, just the console.

You don't have a 1680x1050 mode declared in the 24-bit Screen section. Before you try that, though, rename your xorg.conf to something else and try starting X with no xorg.conf at all. Some things are new to 7.3, and it wouldn't surprise me that -configure hasn't kept up with them.
