Default Error starting Xserver

Hi All,

I'm trying to get the xserver to run on my BSD 3.3 box but I am having
problems. I don't know exactly where to go from here so thought I'd post to
see if anyone here knew how to resolve this issue. I'm not sure if it is
just a config error or an unsupported video card. This is a clean install
with no changes made to any config files.

Here is the XFree86.0.log file from /var/log.

TIA,

Jim

// XFree86.0.log

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/)

Kind of points to the problem, eh? Try looking at xf86config(1),
XF86Config(5), and XFree86(1).
