X configuration for laptop

[Shaun T. Erickson]

I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a laptop, for the first time. 
The OS install went fine. But I don't know what to do to configure X.

It's an almost 4 year old "Dell Lattitude CPx J750GT". The video 
controller is an "ATI M1", with 8 MB of memory. Looking up my spcific 
system on the Dell support site, it's display is described as an "Liquid 
Crystal Display, TFT, 14.1, CRNA, Samsung", Dell part# 4564E.

I skipped X configuration, during the install. As root, I ran "XFree86 
-configure" to generate a config file, and tested it with "XFree86 
-xf86config XF86Config.new", which worked just as the handbook said it 
should. I do not know what values to use to set the HorizSync, 
VertRefresh, Depth or Modes.

I did try running "/stand/sysinstall" and going to the X setup section. 
Trying the graphical setup causes the system to lock up. I have 
previously run Red Hat 9 on this system and X worked ok on it, right up 
until I erased it yesterday, so I believe there are no hardware issues. 
I suppose I should have looked at it's X settings, but I neglected to do 
so before blowing it away ...
