This is mostly a problem on the part of the X Consortium, IMO. Although the FreeBSD project could (among its ranks) write its own configuration utility to figure out what card somebody has, write a good XF86Config for it, etc. This would require a huge database, however, and a rather knowledgeable person who understands X11 code well enough.. Frankly, however, I think XF86Setup sucks.
