YOu X-Windowing installation is *not* right. Update your XFree86 to the latest available (via packages), not you might need to download and upgrade your FreeBSD 4.5 to 4.8-RELEASE or 4.9-PRERELEASE, this should give much up to date video card drivers, then you run XFree86 -configure and follow instructions (hopefully in your book) from there.
