Xorg configuration fails on G4 Powermac

[Super Biscuit]

No dice. It looks like Stevie Wonder describing the night.
Screen is still blank.

Can I suggest adding a "Virtual 1280 1024" (sized appropriately) to
each 'SubSection "Display"' of each 'Section "Screen"'.  I ran into
some wierd problems with multiple screens and found that the virtual
size isn't correctly initialised unless it's explicitly specified.

That said, I suspect that the underlying problem is:
>(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support

ISTR, there is no longer any support for multiple video cards in
FreeBSD - I believe Xorg7.4 relies on external functionality that
FreeBSD doesn't have.  Can you try removing one of the
screen/device/monitor sections and see if it works?
