I have built computer with a asus a7a-133 motherboard which has a ALiMAGiK1 
M1647
chipset. I'm also using a Matrox G400 video card and FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE.  
It
reboots if I startx or XFree86 -configure with XFree86 4.1.

I checked some websites before I bought it to make sure it worked well.  I 
found reference to it working fine on linux so I figured it would be fine on 
freebsd. I was surprised when it crashed when I tried to configure X or use 
my
old XF86Config.

I searched google and the mailing list for the motherboard and chipset.  It
seems to be a well known problem with freebsd and Xfree86 4.1 that doesn't 
effect linux.  Xfree86 3.3.6 does work so I'm ok for now.

I wondered if any work was being done on fixing this problem?  I'm also
curious about what is causing it?
