As root, try:

X -configure

X will try to automatically determine reasonable settings for your
hardware and produce a barebones XF86Config in the /root directory
(called XF86Config.new I believe). You'll have to rename it by dropping
the.new extension and copying it to your /etc/X11 directory, AFTER
testing it first of course...=20

If you still have problems you might want to repost but provide some
more useful information like what version of FBSD you're running and/or
perhaps the version of XFree86. Also you can check your /var/log
directory for X-related errors. Posting this, if available, is probably
very helpful

Hope that helps,

EB
