Marsh,

	Could your provide more specific error messages along with your hardware
config?
You should also take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/x.html

	Did you try running the xf86config tool?  And did you try the startx
command instead of
xinit?

	Try some of these out, and see how you make out, but when you post back
please
include some more details. :)

Good luck.
