thanks for the doc

It seems that in FreeBSD 5.3, Xorg is installed as default
but there is no xorg.conf  file in /etc/X11

I deinstall and reinstall Xorg manually but there is no more xorg.conf  
file in /etc/X11
so I can't modify the screen resolution

else when I run xorg -configure, I've a black screen

who to check the Xorg config ?

it's better to use XFree ?
