If you want -- it's entirely up to you. X has an impressively long
list of places and variant filenames where it will search for the
XF86Config file: so much so that you should take some care about where
you leave copies lying around. I believe that /etc/X11/XF86Config is
the preferred, if you like, "standard" location under FreeBSD.

There's lots of stuff that might go into XF86Config which isn't
mentioned in the automatically generated config file, produced by
'XFree86 -configure'. In this case, these options will be applicable
if your monitor supports DPMS, irrespective of the make of your video
card. Most monitors do, now-a-days.
