I'm setting up a new system. I want to use Xorg for the X server on this. I
did an "Xorg -configure" per the handbook to create  config file for X, and
it is pretty disapointing.

In the psat, I've just booted a Knoppix CD and ftp'd the resultant X config
file off somewhere, the changes to amke this file work in FreeBSd instead
of Linux are fairly trivial, and Knoppix almost always comes up with an
excelect setup. However Knoppix is still using XF86 (probably because it's
based upon Debian).

So, how much of that file should I be able to copy into the Xorg config
file?
