You need to actually configure XFree86 so that it knows what graphics
card, keyboard, mouse and monitor you have.

Try running xf86cfg

Also, unless there is some overwhelming reason to run a GUI, you may want
to consider running this box from the command line. FreeBSD and Linux have
Virtual Terminals that you can access by hitting ALT+F1, Alt+F2, etc.

The majority of Unix server are run this way.
