First of all I'm running current 5.0 so YMMV on what I tell you but there
shouldn't be too much difference:-)
I haven't run SuperProbe for a while, I have been using X -configure and
then using the generated values to manually do a xf86config.
I'm sending you a copy of my /etc/X11/XF86Config Since current uses
devfs you may have to change the mouse setting but everything else should
work. I'm recognizing the card as an ATI Mach64 hopefully compaq hasn't
made any changes.

First be sure that you have
device miibus
device dc
in your kernel config file. I think GENERIC has it by default if you
are not used to compiling kernel.
In my /etc/rc.conf I have
ifconfig_dc0="inet 24.20.19.75 netmask 255.255.255.128 media 100baseTX"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not sure that media 100baseTX is necessary I haven't tried
without it because it works :-).
BTW, you may want to add the following in your /boot/
snd_maestro3_load="YES"
For you sound card. You can load it manually if you prefer with
# kldload snd_maestro3
I also have to usr mixer volume controls to get the volume up to hear
the speakers. I usually set it for about 85. At first I thought that
sound didn't work.;-)
Provecho,
ed
P.S. If this doesn't get you there, I suggest that you attach the output
from dmesg and X -configure, at least. Suerte.
