I would say the hhd's are doing good.
Before you can run X, you must configure it.
Which Xfree were you thinking of using?
3.3.6 or 4.1

I need to know, because the setup is different.

You can always go back into /stand/sysinstall and install anything
including xfree. However /stand/sysinstall will only install XFree-3.3.6
not XFree86-4, it is in the ports collection.

The sis 530 is supported in 3.3.6 and 4.1, so I would use it.
