 Sorry for the late reply.
 One thing you might try is specifying HorizSync an VertRefresh rates in 
 Section "Monitor" of xorg.conf. There seems to be an example configuration 
 for HP XE2 here:
 http://www.linuxia.de/omnibook-xe2.en.html
 Does the log file by any chance point to reason why higher modes are not 
 chosen with default configuration obtained from 'X -configure'?
 You might also have some luck by asking on questions at FreeBSD.org or 
 freebsd-mobile at freebsd.org in case somebody has similar laptop and has it 
 already configured.
 Also the Xorg developers might advise - you can contact them by 
 xorg at lists.freedesktop.org mailing list or file a bug report at 
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
 If it is found that a patch is needed, we can of course add it to ports.
