I noticed you specify that you use the GENERIC kernel,
but thought I'd mention this anyway:  If you don't
have INSECURE set in your kernel, exactly what you
have described will occur if the X Server tries to
use linear memory access.  (The one I use, for the
Matrox MGA Millennium, does.)

If your kernel has INSECURE set, then there must be
some other problem.

If you don't want INSECURE set in your kernel, unpack
the file "xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/apNetBSD.shar"
and you can build a kernel driver which lets you,
without setting INSECURE, run X Servers which use linear
memory access.
