It's a bit difficult to provide any useful input without some idea
of what the picture should and does look like. Can you please post
the actual bitmap as well as a picture of your screen showing the
problem.

Can you please advise where it is documented that "device ugen"
is valid in a FreeBSD-8 config file?

I haven't seen this on any of my systems. Can you please provide
details of your motherboard, BIOS and the output from a verbose boot
up to the hang. Is there a BIOS update available and have you tried
installing it?

I have had similar problems on one of my USB-only desktops. In my
case, moving the keyboard to a different USB port solved the problem.
All I can suggest is to work your way through all the USB ports you
have available and see if they all behavee the same.
