hmm...
I put XF86Config and XFree86.0.log's on bebox.

  http://www.kk.iij4u.or.jp/~kiyohara/tmp/bebox/XF86Config
  http://www.kk.iij4u.or.jp/~kiyohara/tmp/bebox/XFree86.0.log.s3
  http://www.kk.iij4u.or.jp/~kiyohara/tmp/bebox/XFree86.0.log.vga
  http://www.kk.iij4u.or.jp/~kiyohara/tmp/bebox/XFree86.0.log.wsfb


It try using macppc's /usr/X11R6/lib/modules in case s3 and vga.  The case
wsfb is using ofppc's /usr/X11R6/lib/modules.

I will try weekend.  ;-)
