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.
