The best success I have had is to to to the the linux-for-laptops page and
grab a working XF86Config from somebody there.
Also, are you using X 4.x.x ATI Mobility is not supported by XFree86 3.x.x?
FreeBSD still installs X 3 by default; you have to tell it *not* to install X
and then pick the Xfree86 4.x.x package in order to get the useful version of
X.
I hope that this will change in the not too distant future, though I'm
informed that Freebsd 4.5 will still have the obsolete version of X by
default.
