I used XF86Setup with the basic XF86_VGA16 and XF86_SVGA servers already installed as binaries. It has worked remarkably well for me back when I was using Linux. It worked in the same manner now that I am using FreeBSD. And backups were not an option, since I moved to FreeBSD after Linux managed to fsck my disk partitions to oblivion =P -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
