Adding the above to my "xorg.conf" file does help.  It gets past the
various "undefined symbol" errors and finally results in:

So, I've finally returned to this annoying error, which I first reported
here:

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-evbmips/2014/02/01/msg000165.html

How to disentangle the SMI Xorg driver from PC-isms?

Alas, the server didn't leave a core dump, so no clue  what it faulted on.
