Well, I didn't really do anything to configure X, just startx worked.
I did write an xorg.conf so I the mouse wheel would work. Back when
this thing was first new I tried amd64 on it and that worked well, too
but I missed Opera too much and it wasn't a 'real' amd64 anyway, so I
went back to i386. I never thought to try bsd.mp, so I'll have to do
that sometime soon.
This box might be different from what you have. It has no slots of
any kind and even has a disconnected laptop-style power supply and a
laptop cdrom.

ps, here is my xorg.conf, pretty plain.
