What version of FreeBSD are you running and what version of XFree86?

You typically have to install if from the distribution. For  example, on the
CDROM, it is in directory /XF86336/Servers. The file is XS3.tgz. There is a
readme that tells you how to do the install. If you are using XFree86 4.x,
then you will have to obtain the appropriate driver from the CDROM in
/packages/All or an ftp site such as
ftp://ftp9.FreeBSD.org/pub/os/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/

I build mine from the /usr/ports/x11/XFree86. There is another directory for
version 4.x. XFree86 is an application that is just included with the
various releases.
