It looks to me that your grafis hardware is mirrored some 40 times on the PCI bus scan. and therefore the autodetection tries to load a bigger bunch of drivers, thus i assume memory exhaustions happens. Either you do find a way to fix up the PCI bus scan to up to the very first grafics device (a kernel codechange would fix that best) or you instruct X11 by some means to stop earlier with the scan. Your system does have a major hardware bug, or (less possible) an OS bug. autodetection is not really failing for a coding problem but for the hardware data that it received leading to ugly side effects. try the `xf86config` program based configure instead. you do have that hardware: S3 Inc. 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] lets hope that analysis helps you. -Alex. >>>>>> Hello: I'm having problems setting up XFree86 on my FreeBSD 5.1 box.
