I forgot. The version of PCBSD that I had installed on the Thinkpad

install. The screen goes blank and the computer freezes, just as

No real idea what to try next, so let's try turning off acceleration
in the Device section:
Option "NoAccel" "On"
Nope. BTW, thanks for hanging in here. I've never had trouble like
this getting X11 to function. Of course, I've never tried to install
8.1 on a Thinkpad either.
Ok, one quick question. When your screen goes blank, can you
[ctrl][alt][fN] to a different TTY, where N is anything between 2-7?
I'm curious about the machine's state when you start X.
No, when the screen goes blank the whole computer freezes. No mouse, no
keyboard. And I also noticed that the wireless indicator freezes in the
on position. Everything stops dead its tracks.
