YOu X-Windowing installation is *not* right.

Update your XFree86 to the latest available (via packages), not
you might need to download and upgrade your FreeBSD 4.5 to 4.8-RELEASE
or 4.9-PRERELEASE, this should give much up to date video card drivers,
then you run XFree86 -configure and follow instructions (hopefully in 
your book) from there.
