 Hi,
 
  the release of FreeBSD 4.8 has fixed the problem: With XFree 4.3.0, the
 machine does not lock anymore upon scanpci or startx.
 xf86config identifies my Number Nine FX-330 Vision (S3-764/Trio64)
 graphics card as not supported, with a Matrox Millenium X comes up just
 fine.
 
 I then upgraded XFree86 to 4.3.0 on my 4.7-Release install, and it comes
 up just fine as well. So that one is solved.
 
 Alas, now I hit some SMP bug, since gnome2 with SMP enabled results in
 a kernel dump sooner or later.
 
  Cheers, Stefan
