I just recently installed freebsd 4.9 on a DEC PWS 500au. Everything works fine except X. I realize that the problem more than likely isn't FreeBSD specific, its probably a problem with XFree but I thought you guys may be able to give me some advice. When I try to run "xf86cfg" to configure my xserver, it just hangs and takes 99% of the CPU. Ive also tried manually creating config files just to see if I got the same behavior, and I did. I have tried with a few different vid cards, the Cirrus Logic that was originally in this machine, an ATI Mach64, and an S3 Trio. It always hangs at the same spot in the log and takes 99% of the CPU. Here's an excerpt from the log file. Thanks in advance for any help, i'm thinking I may need to just wait for X 4.4, but i'm hoping someone out there has had better luck than I have.
