Hello there :)
Recently installed FreeBSD on my PowerMac G5 7,3 2.0DP and just wow,
it works great!
But not X ...
I read several guides, tried to use vesa instead of ati (ATI 9600),
tried to turn off AllowEmptyInput and UseFBDev, etc, nothing really
work. Build and rebuild X with and without HAL support. I always get
the same error. Here's the thread showing my work:

Here's what happens when I startx:

xauth: file /root/.serverauth.3943 does not exist
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "asturias:0" in "list" command
