With 5.3, I was typed:
Xorg -configure

I got:
Fatal server error:
xfEnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O

This is on an older laptop with an external CD-ROM/Burner/DVD Player 
connected by USB port. FreeBSD was installed using the external CD drive.
(It also has an internal CD drive, but this drive produces scratches and 
errors on some CDs. I prefer not to use it, except with older CDs.)

FreeBSD seems to support my hardware better then any of the Linux 
distros, but it far harder to understand.
