>Description:
I've installed FreeBSD 2.1.0R over 2.0.5R and had newfs'ed /usr and /var
before. Especially /usr/X11R6 didn't exist. After installation of 2.1.0R
and XFree 3.1.2 (complete install except that I installed just the XF86_Mono
server), I symlinked X to XF86_Mono and I then installed my old XF86Config in
/etc. This XF86Config had been running flawlessly with the XF86_Mono
distributed with 2.0.5R. Nothing in my hardware configuration had changed.
Result was that only a small rectangle in the bottom left corner of the
screen was filled with the usual background pattern. A second after that
XF86Config exited on signal 11 and dumped core. I've then tried all legal
values of the "MemBase" option that could be specified for my card with the
same result. I've also built a custom kernel with "options XSERVER" specified
(still using the sc console) - no success.
As the README's of XFree (still) state that XFree works with my monitor +
card I consider this a bug.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install this /etc/XF86Config and then do a "startx":

>Fix:
I've replaced the buggy XF86_Mono with the old one (as shipped with
2.0.5R) and it worked.
