Run it with the -nomodules option. And optionally, with the -textmode
option. This problem is happening because either the driver is doing to
much in it's initialization routine (and xf86cfg is not wrapping some
function it may be calling), or has some bad data structure, the most
common one is having the 'null terminated' list of available options
not 'null terminated'.
