Well, I had a similar problem with my Toshiba Satellite laptop. I burned a Linux "Live" distro (Like Knoppix, though it was another one), booted it and copied the xorg automatic config that was working. I had to wait for the same verion of xorg to be available for freeBSD to see it somehow working... Hope it helps, Luciano. -- /"\ /Via A.
