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.
