Except that I switched from ports to packages awhile back because I was having so many problems building ports, and packages was, until now, working much better. I'm not even sure if I need xf86-video-fbdev or not? I was just trying to make Xorg happy.

I have no clue how to reconfigure HAL or disable AutoAddDevices. Can't I just tell Xorg to use sc0 kbd0 and psm0 ? The man pages don't mention how to do this.  I'm also not sure which driver it should be using.  The r128 man page doesn't explicitly list the RAGE XL.  Xorg without -configure doesn't mention r128.
