I do not use packages, so my answer could be totally off. If I install
X from sources, it does not have any drivers. There should be driver
packages matching your hardware. You can have a look
at /usr/ports/x11-drivers what is available and the install when you
need. Even for simple things like mouse and keyboard, you will have to
install a driver.
