Actually, maybe we can get somewhere just by locating the file in question. Quite often, that's /etc/X11/XF86Config ... you did create it, we must assume; or, you ran the auto config and saved your changes to wherever it said ... likely /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/? In that dir there are also some sample config files. Tune one to your liking and put it in one of the places noted above, and try again. Also, you might want to read the Handbook chapter on X. Used to be chapter 5, not sure now --- they are reworking it.

Just check out the command ´xf86config´ as root.

Re: startx doesn't work
Hi, I am very new to this, and have just struggled through many occurrences of the same sort of thing. During installation i had used the third xf86config option, which can also be run from the command line after installation. (This is the thing which asks questions about horizontal and vertical rates etc.) I could never get anything to work using this, but i really didnt know the answers to many of the questions. I came across an archived email that strongly recommended using the xf86cfg -textmode option. This worked perfectly for me the first time, and I have not had any of these no screens messages since. The xf86cfg -textmode is a screen based selection, and I felt it led me through in a much easier way. If you have already installed freeBSD, I think you can get into it by going through /stand/sysinstall then selecting XFree86 (configure XFree86 Server), then selecting the second option, xf86cfg -textmode I hope this helps a bit.
