After installed FreeBSD 6.3 on two machines, and X server cannot be

Also, Xorg.o.log is attached.
Both machines run FreeBSD 6.2 and X works fine.
I search wiki.x.org and freebsd list, but did not see any information
related to this problem.
Can someone tell me what is going wrong on my installation or X
configuration?

I rarely install X from packages during install myself (I most always
compile the entire Xorg from ports afterwards). But wanting to test my
CDs, I did, and got the exact same result. It seems that when
installing the Standard distribution with X, several parts are not
selected (like xorg-drivers, which is causing this exact symptom. You
will also find out there is no "startx" command). Maybe the
installation does not take into account that Xorg is now modular?
However, when you reach the question about installing packages, you
can actually select the entire xorg-7.3 package and install it. This
will take care of the problem.
This was not a problem of installation on FreeBSD 6.2 and earlier.
It looks like a bug in 6.3 installation process. It does not matter how
to select X package from the selection menu,
the drivers are not installed.
