if auto-config fails, check out the xrandr pkg/port to get some screen specs.

Have you looked at the output of 'dmesg' (or /var/run/dmesg.boot)? It
will give you detailed hardware info. Also, I suggest posting that
info on this list as well. Perhaps someone has the same hardware as
you and can suggest something specific to it.
