Try building your kernel, libdrm, and x11-driverswith
WITH_NEW_XORG=YES and WITH_KMS=YES. Then delete your xorg.conf and
just start your desktop. In general, X no longer should need a config
file, though you may want a short one for local changes. To support
extra fonts from ports, mine looks like:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/"
FontPath "/media/Windows7_OS/Windows/Fonts/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/GentiumBasic/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/urwfonts-ttf/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/printmaster"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Liberation/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
Load "extmod"
Load "record"
Load "dbe"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "dri2"
EndSection
Note the lack of any Card, Monitor, Screen or other hardware specific
configuration.
