OK...now I have a little more data...I've upgraded my system to 2.2.1
(from the Walnut Creek CD) running XFree86 3.2A and I get the same
results. I tried submitting a bug report via www.xfree86.org, but haven't
gotten any response from that.
Also...
1) it seems to work OK if I set '-bpp 16' instead of the default of '-bpp
8'. But, I only get 800x600 resolution out of it instead of 1280x1024
and I'd prefer the latter.
2) If I exit out of the screwy session with Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace, then do
another 'startx', I get a panic out of FreeBSD:
panic: ufs_lock: recursive lock not expected pid: 465
3) Appended to this message are the details from my bug report to
XFree86.org...
Any clues would be greatly appreciated!

Description:
The colormaps seem to be messed up on entry to server. Normally I get
an initial ssh passphrase window with gray & dark blue colors, but with
this server I get (pretty close to) black on black. After that I get an
xterm window that normally has a wheat background, but now it is pink and
my ctwm startup does the gradual dark screen to full intensity screen which
instead of dark to light sequencing does this interesting technicolor
effect.
I've been using a XFree86 3.1.2 XF86_Mach64 server as a fallback and that
_seems_ to work just fine.
Output from the XF86_Mach64 server 3.2 follows:

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
