Hello everyone

I am a newbie. I have just Installed FreeBSD 5.3  and I am
trying to get X started. But after typing "Xorg -configure" (I
learned this from the Hand-Book) I got the following error 

**************************
Fatal server error:

xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O
***************************

I have no clue as to what that means

I am also pasting the Xorg.0.log file.

Thanks in advance
Jadukor
