There appeared to be no errors in any of the install, Xorg -configure is

But when I run Xorg -config xorg.conf.new (with or without -retro) screen

off...
I have searched for configuration files for this machine without success.
The output of pciconf says
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00021179 chip=0x35828086
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vgapci1@pci0:0:2:1: class=0x038000 card=0x00021179 chip=0x35828086

OK. Maybe a bit more information would help.
What do you get from 'pciconf -lv'? Can you start Xorg without trying
to create a config file? Most systems today will start out of the box
and the configuration generator has been know to lock up. What about
make.conf? Do you have WITH_NEW_XORG in it or any other options tied
to video or Xorg?
Well, I replaced
Driver "intel" by
Driver "vesa"
Now when I run X with xorg.conf.new and -retro I get the herringbone
pattern and I can move the mouse around.
That's the good news.
The bad news is I can not get out of this and still have to power down
the machine to regain control of it...
