New installation of 4.8-RELEASE on a new system.
Installed XFree86 from packages:
     XFree86-4.3.0,1     X11/XFree86 core distribution (complete, using 
mini/m eta-po
Running "XFree86 -configure" fails, locking the keyboard (but not the 
system) and making the system squeal like a pig.
The last few lines of the XFree86.0.log
    (II) Module int10: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
            compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 1.0.0
            ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6
    (II) NV(0): initializing int10

pciconf reports the following:
    none2@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x040910b0 chip=0x018110de 
rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00
        vendor   = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
        device   = 'GeForce4 MX 440SE with AGP 8X [NV18]'
        class    = display
        subclass = VGA
No XFree86Config.new is written out.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
