It sounds like your graphics card is outputing something which the
TFT cannot handle.

Check "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" to find out what frequencies the X server
is using. You might have to adjust the "Monitor" section in
"/etc/X11/XF86Config". Googling the web might bring up an example
configuration suited for your TFT (it doesn't matter if it's for Linux
or another BSD).
