I think "latest version" here means 4.1.99 (beta of 4.2.0) or the head
of the CVS repository.

This seems odd.

I just recently figured this out: Add
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "speedo"
to the Module section of XF86Config.

Oops! You have that. Even more odd.

No devices, no screens, huh?
Where did this XF86Config file come from, anyway? Could this be left
over from a previous installation of version 3.3.6?
If you're willing to take the time to re-install FreeBSD anyway, make
sure you do NOT choose to install X11 in the initial installation (that
would be 3.3.6). After the installation is mostly complete and you're
going through configuration, then add the XFree86 4.1.0 package. That
way you won't have any cruft left over from 3.3.6.
XFree86 4.1.0 may not be on the first CD-ROM, but it's on one of 'em (in
/cdrom/packages/All). You may want to complete the installation with no
X11, reboot, then run /stand/sysinstall to install 4.1.0.
On the other hand, you may really need 4.1.99 or newer. I'm not
familiar with Radeons and laptops. Anyone else know about this?
