Dear FreeBSD`ers

I have experienced the following problems while
installing 4.5-RELEASE on an Alphaserver 3305. (AS 800)

a) Neither the CD image nor the FTP site contain the 
XFree86-Setup Package.

b) The Xfree86 port as delivered plainly refused to work
and produced a suspicious Machine Check.

So, i decided to give Xfree86 4.2 a try.
Downloaded the sources, compiled, and voila.... Again
the same Machine Check.

Machine Check While in PAL mode
PC = 1c778

Also, the offending server dumps Assembler to the /etc/X11/XF86config

The resulting file is attached, FWIW

BTW. I have tried the following PCI video adaptors.

ATI All in Wonder (4MB)
Matrox MGA Millenium (4MB)

Both in 32 and in the 64 bit slot.

Alas, the machine used to run Linux flawlessly, and has ran DU 4.0E 
(with an SRM hack to pretend it to be an AS 800) flawlessly as well

System config

Alphaserver 3305
500 Mhz 21164A
1 9.1 GB IBM SCA Drive
256 MB (both banks populated)

Thanks in advance
