I don't have an XFree man page handy, so this may be incorrect,
but I think you are using two mutually incompatable options. I
have an Xinside which has a similar seting, physbase -address-
for the purpose of of overriding linear addressing on VLB boards
that have problems decoding 32 bit addresses. So, I suggest you
try xor'ing those 2 options.
