When attempting to startx, I get the following errors (below):

-----------------------------------------------------------

I do have a separate (PCI) ATI TV tuner installed. Could this be the
problem? I do see: 

"(--) SVGA: PCI: ATI Unknown chipset (0x5446) rev 0, Memory @ 0xf8000000,
MMIO @0xfebfc000, I/O @0x7800 "above"...

If so, will I have to remove the TV tunner to bring up X? I hope not.. Not
that I want to use the TV tunner, its obviously a pain to have to remove the
card everytime I boot into BSD...


**My Card:

ATI Rage 128 Pro
Monitor = IBM P76
0.24mm Aperture Grille Pitch
Deflection Frequency:           Horizontal = 30 - 94 kHz
                                Vertical = 48 - 120 Hz
------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks in advance...
