    Here is a quick and dirty way of getting your card
    detected and getting x up fast. The command below will
    build a skeleton file.

    XFree86 -configure

    Step 2: copy the file to /etc/X11 and remove the .new
    extension.

    cp XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config

    Then either go into /stand/sysinstall and do a post
    configuration setup. Select X server and use ncurses
    based interface to edit your monitor and keyboard
    settings. Double check all the settings to make sure
    they are correct. Instead of going into
    /stand/sysinstall you could actually use:
    xf86cfg --textmode which is the same ncurses based
    installer. The advantage for myself is that almost
    all possible tweaks and settings are set inside the
    file for tuning at a later date.

    You can go and use the same ncurses installer via
    /stand/sysinstall but it wont add all the settings.

    Just my 2 cents worth, hope it helps.

    Pete
