Thank you for the info. That website is exactly where I was last
night and it describes xf86config and XF86Setup as the two files used
for the configuration. Although I have the same directory structure

I'm soooo lost right now :)

Hi,

I think the documentation you're looking at is outdated, isn't FreeBSD
using Xorg instead of XFree86?

Try following these instructions instead,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html

Also, if you have a mouse in the console, you're probably using gpm. I
think you need to either configure X to use gpm, or deactivate it?
