The first step I *always* do after installing X on a FreeBSD machine is to make sure that there are no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11, then I run X -configure as root. This will write a basic xorg.conf in /root/xorg.conf.new, and would be the best staring point if your graphics card is supprted by Xorg. Have you tried that? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
