Well, I had a similar problem with my Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I burned a Linux "Live" distro (Like Knoppix, though it was another
one), booted it and copied the xorg automatic config that was working.
I had to wait for the same verion of xorg to be available for freeBSD
to see it somehow working...

Hope it helps,

Luciano.
