Yes. I installed 4.3-RELEASE from cdrom and did a make install in the
ports/x11/XFree86-4 directory.
If I remove the /usr/X11R6 direcory and unpacks the X11 that is on the
install cd then X works fine with my ATI card but it does not have support
for my NVidia card.

That seems very likely then yes.

This is an EPoX 8kta3 mainboard.

Was this a fresh install? I have heard weird stories in which old XFree
3.3.x messed up XFree when it started up.
