Do I have to install something else ? (Maybe from ports collection - which one?) try : Xorg -configure that should give you a temp. config-file to test, and if that is working fine copy that config-file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (make sure you install a windowmanager (e.g. icewm, fluxbox) or a desktop-environment like e.g. KDE, Gnome or xfce4)
