Hi,
 I'm trying to get X windows going on FreeBSD 2.1.  I have
 gone through xf86config and answered all the questions.  When
 I run xinit it comes back with:
 .
 .
 (--) P9000: Vendor/chipset is viperpci (Diamond Viper PCI)
      : IObase must be specified for Viper PCI for extended IO
 
 *** None of the configured devices were detected.***
 
 I've been through the docs and the installation and don't see IObase
 referenced anywhere.
 Any idea what I can do to fix this?

 Thanks,
 John
