Strange. It only happens if "libfreetype.so" render module exists. I
compile this against system libfreetype to get rid of some bugs in
freetype2 which comes with XFree86 (some fonts can't be displayed any
more which worked with freetype1 based freetype module).  After
loading this module every module gets a

  ERROR SIGSEGV caught!

after loading.

[...]

Maybe xf86cfg can't handle these modules. XFree86 loader can.
