I ended up with access to a "Chipset: "ATI Radeon X1950" (ChipID =3D =
0x7240)" Radeon to put in a PowerMac G5 Quad Core. The card works fine =
in Mac OS X 10.5 on the same PowerMac. Previously the Quad Core G5 =
configurations that I've had access to had NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT's. =
Xorg starts up fine for the same G5 with that original card.
But for 10.1-BETA1 based on the xorg.conf that Xorg -configure produces =
(and any variation that I've tried) all I get is:
...

(with variations for the times on the left). Xorg was "=3D=3D=3D> =
Installing for xorg-server-1.12.4_9,1" (just to show the version number =
reported during portmaster). Things look normal leading up to the above.
Context (not that I expect the diffs contribute to the above):

No modifications to the ports. I do config gcc to do a full bootstrap =
and config having the control for setting the reverse scroll wheel =
direction in xfce4. Otherwise the ports have the default configurations.
The "WITHOUT_CLANG=3D" is just because clang's build has problems under =
"WITH_DEBUG_FILES=3D".
