Hello:

This is more XFree86 related, so you can stop here if you wish.  I'm just
hoping someone who installed FreeBSD ran into something similar and has
a quick solution.

We're having a problem running the XF86_Mach32 server on our
Professional/GX on FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE.  Perhaps someone
has an idea what's going on:

A user does a remote login to a Sun Sparc.  They run Framemaker.
Frame pops up the initial window w/o any problems.  Then, when
they click on any of the buttons, they get the following:

Fatal server error:
caught signal 11. server aborting
XF86_Mach32: uid 0: exited on signal 6

X goes down in a ball of flames and the kernel logs it in /var/log/messages.

Here's my XF86_Config file for those who are really interested:

BTW, I'm using a Logitech MouseMan on the PS/2 port on FreeBSD.  The 
MouseMan declaration no longer works with this new version.  I had to
select Device PS/2 to get that working properly.  Also, there was an
old option called "intel_gx" for those with onboard Mach32 interfaces.
Although it doesn't complain, it doesn't appear to be mentioned in
the manpage any longer.
