I have a Core Duo system (2 2GHz CPUs), that continually locks up (I believe it panics) when exiting xorg with both CPU's enabled. If I have:

hint.apic.0.disabled="1"

in device.hints, I only use one CPU, however it exits from xorg just fine. When the system locks, I still have some keyboard control (num lock lights, etc), but I can't seem to do anything else. I can't see the screen, it goes black during that time. All my system configs/dmesg/etc are here:

How can I debug (or help debug) this?

Eric,

Does your laptop by any chance have a serial or firewire port with which to set up a remote console?

It has both. I can set up a serial console on it - what's the best way to do this?

I am told that there are instructions in the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html but I personally have not gotten it to work (though I only tried when my laptop was panic-ing on boot. . .)

If your freeze truly is a panic, the trace should show up on the serial console and illuminate what is going wrong.
