Please email to me. thanks! You are probably trying to start in too high a resolution. 1M is probably insufficient for use of video memory for the screen resolution that you have requested, given that X reserves a small amount of video RAM for a transfer staging area (pixmaps, fonts, etc.). Most likely, when you subtract out this staging area, there is too little memory left over for 16 bpp. Try 800x600, or 640x480. Make sure your virtual screen size isn't larger than your real screen size (default is 1024x768). More questions should probably be directed to the XFree86 people; this isn't really a FreeBSD-specific problem, so there isn't a FreeBSD-specific answer.
