put on your sleuthing hat, and then get a big Jeep and take yourself on
a RTFM safari.

k, first of all, SuperProbe is dead. start by following the configgeration
instructions in <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x-config.html>.

second of all, read /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.ati

my chipset is slightly different; i have an ati radeon mobility 7500 in
my laptop. however, my device section may still be of use to you:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"card_of_d00m"
	Driver		"ati"
	VendorName	"ATI"
	BoardName	"Radeon Mobility M7 LW"
	BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
	Option		"AGPMode"	"4"
	Option		"CrtScreen"	"true"
EndSection

then, for even MORE help, search in google for:
1)	XF86Config radeon 7500
2)	XF86Config radeon 7500 freebsd

all the answers you seek are out there. somewhere.
