FreeBSD 5.2.1 / XFree86 4.3 .0 on Dell Inspiron 5000

[orig injun]

> Hello,
> 
> I am wondering if somebody can help me get X up and running on
> my Dell Inspiron 5000 Laptop. 
> 
> After installing the OS and X, I generated XF86Config using
> XFree86 -configure. I am attaching the file below. When I
> run 'startx' with this configuration file in /etc/X11, the
> machine just hangs. 
> 
> The console shows:
> xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "machinename:0" in "list" 
> command
> 
> xauth: (stdin):2: bad display name "machinename:0" in "add"
> command
> 
> followed by XFree86 and FreeBSD version information
> before it freezes. Nothing gets written to XFree86.0.log
> 
> I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1 Release #0 as downloaded from
> freebsd.org. The XFree86 version that comes with this is
> 4.3.0 released on 27 February 2003. The machine itself is
> a 500Mhz PIII laptop with 256MB or RAM. Is X supposed to
