  After September/1998 version of linux emulator was enable to run
Linux XFree86 server.

  I use with
	FreeBSD-2.2.8 + linux emulator + NeoMagic XFCom server for RedHat.

# currently XFree86 3.3.3.1 support NeoMagic.

  And someone reported me
	FreeBSD-2.2.8 + linux emulator + i740 server.

  But you need some symlinks for virtual console.
# ln -s /dev/console /compat/linux/dev/tty0
# ln -s /dev/ttyv0 /compat/linux/dev/tty1
# ln -s /dev/ttyv1 /compat/linux/dev/tty2
# ln -s /dev/ttyv2 /compat/linux/dev/tty3
# ln -s /dev/ttyv3 /compat/linux/dev/tty4

  and some mouse drivers.
If you use moused
# ln -s /dev/sysmouse /compat/linux/dev/mouse
or
# ln -s /dev/psm0 /compat/linux/dev/psaux

   # I hope to include these links to linux_lib tarball of ports/packages.

Some information about use Linux X server with Linux emulator
