I tried both, but it doesn't seem to make any difference...

It just segfaults at startup, with both, the ati and radeon driver, with
and without dri or glx, with the normal xfree86 port and -snap, with
FreeBSD 5.1 and 4.8 - it's really scary :)

It only worked with 4.8 before I portupgraded everything - was that
xfree86 4.2?

Thanks for your help,
