Have you read the excellent documentation available from the FreeBSD dudes at http://www.freebsd.org? Specifically http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html this document? After you've followed the information in that (if you haven't already) then you'll notice that an XFree86 server crash tells you to send specific information. If you don't do that then noone can help you very much. You mention "it can't find any screens". This refers to the fact that the XFree86 server needs a configuration file which contains a number of sections, at least one of which is called "Screen" (see "man XF86Config") and binds other sections and options together to specify a particular way of interacting with your hardware. A good starting (or perfectly working) XF86Config will be created for you if you follow the instructions in the URL above.
