Xorg/xfce4 failing on Dual Processor G4 PowerMac's BUT Single Processor G4 PowerMac works (same boot SSD)...

The below includes it reporting getting a "failed to set mtrr: File exists" notice. (A Intel P6+ concept?)
I have since rebuilt (buildworld, kernel, installworld; portmaster -af) from the same /usr/src/... and /usr/ports/... on that same SSD based on /etc/make.conf having:
WITH_DEBUG_FILES=
WITHOUT_CLANG= # because otherwise it leads to buildworld failures with the above enabled
WITH_DEBUG=
Unfortunately uname -a loses the r268571 reference in the process, leaving less of a clue what the build is based on.
In this context the script logfile for running on a PowerMac G4 ends up recording "failed to set mtrr: File exists":

The G5 PowerMac does not display the "failed to set mtrr: File exists" message when booted from the same boot SSD and startxfce4 -- -logverbose 9 is used (but with xorg.conf's BusID changed to match the PowerMac7,11's BusID). The G5 context works fine. (I've not tried the single processor G4 context yet.)
Note: I'm using the G4 NVIDIA PowerMac for most G4 expirements because it allows me to Option-Fn to get to VTn and see thing there and so I can avoid reboots.
The last thing that dmesg -a shows after the G4 startxfce4 -- -logverbose 9 is my logging in as root:

I do not see anything earlier that looks to be of interest. About the only thing remotely error-like are some examples of "hid_get_item: Number of items truncated to 255".
/var/log/Xorg.0.log's ends in:

I.e., the Xorg quit is silent. Again I do not see anything earlier that looks to be of interest.
Xorg is suddenly, silently quitting. And it is leaving all associated log files with older modification date/times/content from what I can tell. No core file either. "failed to set mtrr: File exists" may explain this. I've not started investigating it yet.
Side notes:
I've not investigated yet if there is a way around gdb Xorg's run :0 under powerpc/GENERIC getting:
> cannot get thread event message: generic error
and gdb's cont then getting:
> suspend error: generic error
I've also seen for other things I've tried with Xorg involved:

and

On the G5 PowerMac's using powerpc64/GENERIC64 boot SSD's I have no such problems with threading for gdb Xorg: only the powerpc/GENERIC boot SSD's have this problem and the gdb thread issues happen on G4's and G5's when booted from powerpc/GENERIC boot SSD's.
