The XF86Config is attached for reference. I am using FreeBSD 5.3 and trying to install XFree86 4.4. I currently am running XFree86 4.3 (so I can write this email :)
The attached file works and has worked with 4.0 - 4.3 of XFree86. On 4.4 starting xdm yields a black screen with no errors logged to /var/log/XFree86.0.log. xdm starts and can be canceled.
The hardware is a Dell Inspiron 7500 circa 10/99. The problem seems to track the ATI Rage Mobility card as another FreeBSD user with the same card on an IBM ThinkPad is having the same symptoms.

Is this a know problem? I could not find it in the active bug list. Any work around-s?
This should be fixed as of 4.4.99.7, specifically CHANGELOG #133. There are no workarounds.
