In better times, I used to have an XF86Config describing everything I
needed, even modelines. In fact, now I have zero X configs.  Do you mean
I should create an incomplete config with only those tidbits you
provided?

By the way, if the alternative to the dreaded combination of hald and
dbus on Linux is the dreaded systemd, I don't really know which is worse.

But, once it comes to that, if I wanted to run an X desktop on a FreeBSD
system, like a modern fashionable guy, what alternatives do I have that
would not require the dreaded HAL and Dbus?

In my case, it is not the console mode that is important, but switching
between two X servers each running a different user's GUI session (my
wife's and mine).

If I could find a way to run two independent sessions within one X
server, I would do that.
