Easiest way I can think of is to run knoppix and take the Xfree config fi=
le=20
and copy it to freebsd.  Knoppix has some great hardware autodetection.  =
It=20
has perfectly configured x on every computer I've tried it on.
besides it boots to a perfect working kde setup.  I'd love to see more of=
 the=20
tools knoppix uses ported to freebsd.  Too bad I haven't the skills mysel=
f.
the website is:
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/

and a mini iso is available here:
ftp://ftp.es.debian.org./pub/miniKnoppix

have fun
