The best write-up I have ever seen on the subject is Chapter 10
of Greg Lehey's book: The Complete FreeBSD.

Also, read the following man pages:

	SuperProbe(1)     (Note the capital "S" and "P".)
	xf86config(1)     (No capital letters here.)
	xvidtune(1)
	xwininfo(1)

The above routines are located in /usr/X11R6/bin.

xvidtune very is helpful after you get the configuration roughed in.

		Good luck
