FreeBSD? 2.X, really such an old version? Your .xinitrc file is unconventional--/usr/X11Ry/bin/X should be linked to your XF86_SVGA server so that should be an unnecessary command...and /bin/tsch does not exist in 2.X. Try deleting the .xinitrc or copying the one in the /usr/X11R6 hierarchy to your home directory and then check the error messages again.
